Register to Vote

If you have not yet registered to vote, or need to update your registration because you recently moved, you can do so by visiting vote.uic.edu. Visit the non-partisan Campus Vote Project for information about voting for all 50 states. Visit the Student Leadership and Civic Engagement page here for voting events and Important 2022 events.

Serve as an Election Judge

Per Illinois state law, students are encouraged to apply to serve as a judge of election. Further information is available on the website of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. If you live outside the City of Chicago, consult one of the government resources below for information on serving as an election judge in your jurisdiction.

Early Voting

Early voting will take place at UIC from Wednesday, June 22, through Friday, June 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The polling place is located in Room 613 in the Tower at the north end of Student Center East. You must reside within the City of Chicago to vote on campus. Resources for voters who live outside the city are provided below. Voters are encouraged (but not required) to wear a face mask that covers the mouth and nose.

Vote by Mail

Chicago residents can use Vote by Mail to register to vote, check their registration, find their polling place, change their address, change their name, or apply to vote by mail. June 23 is the legal deadline to apply to vote by mail. If you live outside the City of Chicago, consult one of the government resources below for information on voting by mail in your jurisdiction.

Primary Election Day Voting

If your permanent place of residence is near the UIC Dorin Forum, you may be able to vote or register in that facility on June 28. To confirm your polling place for voting or registering June 28, please visit the website of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. Voting at the Forum will take place June 28 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Again, voters are encouraged (but not required) to wear a face mask that covers the mouth and nose.
