Abbatial Election

St. Michael's Abbey

Accompanying the Community

This is just for fun, but the Plenary Indulgence is REAL! We, as friends of the Norbertines, are standing with the community in prayer during this historic moment. On June 19, 2026, the canons of St. Michael's Abbey will gather to elect their third abbot.

While only the solemnly professed canons cast a canonical vote, we ask all friends of the abbey to accompany the community with prayer (including a Novena from June 10-18) and to cast a symbolic vote for your favorite Norbertine!

How Does the Ranking Work?

This symbolic election uses the Dowdall System (a fractional ranking method) to determine the community consensus. You can select as many candidates as you like.

The percentage shown on the leaderboard is the portion of the total points that each candidate has received from all participants.
