CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa today announced that the UNI-DOME will be open as an early-voting site for Black Hawk County residents. The university and the athletics department moved to consolidate early voting in one location to allow the campus and community to safely cast their ballot in a large indoor space while wearing masks and remaining socially distanced.
Early voting runs from Oct. 6-10 and students are encouraged to register in advance to vote. UNI has a strong tradition of civic engagement, posting the nation's second-highest student voting rate in the 2016 presidential election and the highest voter turnout of any Iowa public university in 2018.
