Pope Leo XIV, the first American to lead the Catholic Church, has voted in the U.S. midterm elections. The 71-year-old pontiff, born Robert Francis Prevost, requested an absentee ballot from his native Illinois and submitted it by mail from the Vatican. This is a historic first for a sitting pope, who remains a U.S. citizen and registered voter in Illinois. The Vatican confirmed that Leo has exercised his right to vote in previous U.S. elections while living abroad.
