UBalt Votes

What is UBalt Votes? 

Civic and democratic engagement are central to the mission of higher education and the values of The University of Baltimore. While these types of engagement embody a wide variety of activities, participation in local, state, and federal elections is a real and tangible way for our students, staff and faculty to affect our community. The Rosenberg Center for Student Engagement and Inclusion is committed to ensuring that the UBalt community always has access to resources and information to be fully prepared to take part in the democratic process.
