Magnetic fields are one of most concealed components of the universe. They are observed as part of the intergalactic medium and on galaxy cluster scales, however their origin and evolution is unclear. In this work we use the IllustrisTNG simulations to investigate the effects of magnetic fields in cosmic voids, the least dense regions of the universe. We find that, under the hypothesis of a uniform primordial magnetic field, the voids still reflect the primordial properties of the fields. On the other hand, the galaxies in their interior acquire weaker magnetic fields than galaxies in denser environments.
