Why is voting important?
Civic engagement is a fundamental part of a transformative Jesuit education, and exercising one’s right to vote is the bedrock of civic engagement.
Your voice deserves to be heard, and the ballot box is where your elected officials listen.
Loyola University Chicago encourages everyone to exercise their right to vote. Civic engagement is part of a transformative education in the Jesuit tradition. Loyola does not endorse or support any political party or candidate, however, and all voter registration activities should be non-partisan. Please refer to the University’s “Guidelines for Political Activities for Students, Faculty, and Staff".
