At least 450 overwhelmingly international student voters were disenfranchised and robbed of their right to vote in the 2019 University of Illinois at Chicago Student Election. This election has wide reaching impacts on UIC policy, fees and tuition, and the policy of the entire University of Illinois system. Some of the candidates could not even vote for themselves.

The gross negligence displayed by the UIC administration is another injustice against a population of students that the U of I system has long ignored and profiteered off of. This is a student rights issue. Now more than ever it is important send a message and resist the rampant voter disenfranchisement we see across this nation.

Join us in demanding a free and fair democratic election that restores rights of UIC students!
