About the Election

Your Vote Counts!
Indiana University alumni have the important privilege of electing three of the nine members of the IU Board of Trustees. Indiana's governor appoints the other six, including a student trustee. All trustees serve three-year terms, with the exception of the student trustee who serves a two-year term. Since alumni-elected trustees serve rotating terms, alumni vote for one each year.
In accordance with state law, the annual election is conducted by the Dean of University Libraries on the Bloomington campus, with assistance from the IU Alumni Association. Ballots are sent to all current and new IU graduates in May. Ballots are counted on June 30, beginning at 9 a.m. If that falls on a Sunday, ballots are counted on June 29. Paper and electronic ballots must be received by 1:00 p.m. E.T.D. on the day of the election.
Online voters: Check your ballot carefully before hitting “send.” After your ballot is sent, your vote is cast and cannot be rescinded.
