Voting and Civic Participation

National Voter Registration Day was observed on Sept. 15, but there is still time to register and prepare for Election Day on Nov. 3.

At Loyola, civic engagement is more than a responsibility. It is a reflection of our Jesuit commitment to being people for others and a demonstration of our shared mission to serve the common good. Through Loyola Votes, students, faculty, and staff can access resources that make participation in the democratic process easier and more accessible.

Whether you need help registering to vote, finding your polling place, learning about early voting, serving as a poll worker, or becoming an election judge, Loyola Votes provides the tools and information needed to get involved.

Our community has much to celebrate. Loyola is ranked No. 1 among Illinois four-year institutions for voter registration and voter turnout. We are also proud that 100% of Loyola student-athletes are registered to vote, demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to civic participation. In addition, Loyola is a two-time recipient of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge Gold Seal, recognizing the University's leadership in advancing nonpartisan democratic engagement and student voter participation.

These achievements reflect Loyola's commitment to forming engaged citizens who are prepared to lead and serve in their communities. By voting, volunteering, and helping others participate in the democratic process, we put our values into action and contribute to a more just and equitable society.

There is still time to get involved. Register, make a plan to vote, and encourage others to do the same. Every voice matters, and every vote is an opportunity to make a difference.

Don't wait. Election Day is Nov. 3. Visit Loyola Votes today to register, make your voting plan, and learn how you can support the democratic process.
