Voting and Civic Engagement

Your opinions matter and your voice deserves to be heard. Saint Louis University has provided this guide to help you get more engaged in the political process and make sure you know where and how you can cast your ballot in the next election.

Students vote behind small barriers that read Vote Here at tables in the Saint Louis Room.
 

Registering to Vote

Most states have online voter registration. Check with your secretary of state or county election office for assistance with voter registration and helping you to find everything you need to vote.

Guidelines for Campus Political Activity

As a condition of Saint Louis University's tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, SLU is prohibited from directly or indirectly participating or intervening in political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for elected public office.

Saint Louis University encourages students, faculty and staff to exercise their civic rights to participate in the electoral process, including involvement in political campaigns, so long as they make clear that their political activities and statements are their own and not the University's.
