Celebrate Elections and Early Voting with Us

• At various locations, we intend to raise the American flag while at attention.

• After raising the flag, we will recite the Pledge of Allegiance and/or sing songs (listed below are some examples).

• If a faith leader is present, we encourage them to offer a prayer if they are so inclined. If a lawyer is present, we encourage them to recite their oath to the US Constitution. If a veteran is present, we encourage them to recite their oath of enlistment or oath of office as a voluntary recitation symbolizing ongoing allegiance.

• Concluding the activity, we will lower the flag while at attention, and two of the attendees will fold the flag in accordance with tradition.

What Others Can Do:

• Other attendees with various backgrounds (veterans, faith leaders, lawyers, etc.) are encouraged to bring their abilities to each manifestation. Attendees with experience in flag ceremonies are encouraged to be flag-bearers or folders.

• Once the flag is raised, attendees are free to speak and share their reflections on the significance of voting and elections.

• Civic leaders are encouraged to support their communities in participating in the democratic process if they are able.
