Many of you have already been praying for our next administration–for candidates, for the important issues to be brought forth, and for the Presence of God to be welcome in our nation again through a new administration.  But for those of you who typically don’t “get involved in politics” and prefer to “take what you get” and then pray for change to come, let us propose a new tactic.  We are listing the Primary schedule for 2016 below.  One of the most effective ways we can get a leader who fears God, is to pray for that person today–ahead of the actual election. To pray and ask God to use us believers to shape history through prayer and fasting, as Derek Prince wrote in his iconic book. (Order at ifapray.org)

Some of you may have “your candidate.”  Many of you may be undecided.  Whatever the state of your decision-making is, please join thousands in praying for a godly leader. Praying without naming a candidate is fine!  Pray that a man or woman who fears God would be elected.  God knows who that person may be.  Below, are the dates of the primaries so you can be praying specifically.  Join the network of prayer for our nation and the elections at GetOutThePrayer2016.com.

2016 Primary Schedule 

Open – Voters may vote in either party primary
Closed – Only voters registered in their respective party may vote in the party primary
Mixed – A semi-open or semi-closed environment, unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in either primary

*Note on Washington State: The Washington State GOP holds a caucus on February 20 where a portion of delegates are allocated. Washington state also holds a statewide primary on May 24 which will allocate the remaining Republican delegates. The Washington State Democratic Party does not allocate any delegates from the primary, but rather holds its own caucus on March 26. As a result, Democrats may vote in the primary on May 24 but the vote is considered a “beauty contest” as it holds no bearing on delegates.
