Register to Vote

UIW encourages all students, faculty and staff to become registered voters, and is hosting several events on campus this fall to facilitate voter registration on behalf of Bexar County and the State of Texas.

UIW alumni will be in the Marian Hall Student Center from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 4-6, to help hand out voter registration cards and answer questions about the registration process. The League of Women Voters also will have a representative on campus from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 25, also in the Student Center, to hand out voter registration cards.

There will also be a Voter Registration Information Session at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 6, also in Marian Hall. Sponsored by UIW's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, this event is part of the NPHC City-Wide Sorority Night.
