Leading up to the 2026 midterm elections, UC will help get out the vote — making it easy for voters of all ages and affiliations to access the nonpartisan information they need to make their voices heard!

As part of these efforts, we’ll amplify the voices of UC staff who plan to head to the polls (or the mailbox) this year. Please take a moment to share your perspectives and experiences on voting to help us tell the story of why the 2026 elections are important to UC staff.

Selected answers will be shared on UCnet and other UC publications!

Here’s how to participate

1. Send an email to ucnetwork@universitycalifornia.edu with answers to one (or more) of the following prompts:
   • I’m voting in this year’s election because…
   • I help others in my community vote by…
   • Something that excites me about this year’s election is…
   • I think everyone who’s eligible should vote because…
   • One of the most memorable elections I’ve participated in has been…
   • A voting experience I’ll never forget is…
2. Include your name, job title and UC location in the body of the email
3. Include a photo of yourself that we can share with your message (casual photos are fine; bonus points if your photo relates in some way to voting)

Please make sure that any responses follow the UC Principles of Community. For questions, contact our editorial team at ucnetwork@universitycalifornia.edu.

Spread the word!

We’d love to represent a diverse group of UC community members at all locations. Share this article with your colleagues and ask them to participate!
