Bible Quotes About Voting

13 Scripture verses about voting from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.

Scripture reveals that God sovereignly governs the appointment of leaders, as seen in how He directs the hearts of kings and rulers (Proverbs 21:1). The establishment of authority, including the choice of leaders, is part of God's design for order among His people, with wise and understanding men chosen to govern (Deuteronomy 1:13). While nations may desire a king or ruler (Deuteronomy 17:14), it is ultimately the Lord who is the true governor over all nations (Psalms 22:28). The character of those in authority profoundly affects the well-being of the people, with righteousness bringing joy and sin bringing reproach and mourning (Proverbs 14:34; 29:2).
