University polling location to move from FAC to Union for November election

The University’s primary polling location will move to the Texas Union for the November presidential election due to planned construction of the Flawn Academic Center, according to a University spokesperson.

The University hasn’t finalized a start date for construction. UT may also move the polling location to the Union for the long-term, a University spokesperson said. The second voting location will remain at the LBJ School of Public Affairs.

“Voting locations on the UT campus have evolved over the years to balance public participation in the voting process with the University’s operations,” the spokesperson said in an email.

Maggie DiSanza, the Austin advocacy & field organizer of Texas Rising, said she initially heard about the change during a coalition meeting with the county clerk. She said she informed other UT organizations of the news during a Civic Engagement Coalition call. Shortly after, University Democrats President Brian Peña and the vice president notified the Commissioner’s Court.
