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.
