I think whether they are encouraged to vote or not has to do with the rules of their specific community. Some don't think you should vote- and many lack the proper id and documentation to vote- but I think that may be changing. I follow an ex-Amish man who now works to help people get out if they want, and he posted about Old Order Amish voting a few days ago (sorry for the youtube link):
This specific group is upset and organizing to vote but their reason for doing so this election cycle is that they're ashamed/horrified at how the US government is treating their own citizens in the wake of Helene.
They always voted here from my understanding.
Update. 180,00 new Amish registrations. They are going 100% for Trump!
