Pope Leo XIV has voted several times in his home state of Illinois in recent years, public records show, including with an absentee ballot in last November’s presidential election.
According to records from Will County, in suburban Chicago, the pope has voted in three Republican primaries since 2012 and no Democratic primaries in that time. He most recently voted in a Republican primary in 2016.
The records show that he did not vote in Will County in the 2020 presidential election or in the 2022 midterm election.
