Election Materials and Guidelines

In keeping with its mission, the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops (FCCB) aims to assist Catholics in active and responsible participation in political life. Each election cycle, the FCCB offers several resources to help the faithful with the obligation to make informed voting decisions. The bishops neither support nor oppose candidates and do not intend to tell Catholics for whom or against whom to vote. The responsibility to make political choices rests with each individual in light of a properly formed conscience.

Materials provided here are intended to be used alongside the U.S. bishops' teaching document on political responsibly, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States (English) | (Spanish).

The following resources are approved by the bishops of Florida for use in parish or diocesan publications and for posting online. For additional approved resources on political responsibility, see the websites of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.
