Deseret News reports on interfaith "poll chaplains" who will be present at voting locations in nine states, viewing their role as a spiritual calling. The chaplains aim to protect all voters and ensure a peaceful election process.

The initiative brings together religious leaders and volunteers from multiple faith traditions, including Latter-day Saints, to provide a calming presence at polling places. The program reflects growing concerns about election security and voter intimidation, with faith leaders positioning themselves as neutral protectors of the democratic process.
