With the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors reducing the number of in-person voting options this year, sports arenas around the country are opening their doors to voters for safe, in-person polling options.
Election Super Centers, a non-partisan group, along with legendary basketball coach Doc Rivers and organizations across the country, are working with local election authorities and more than 60 NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL and MLS arenas, leagues and teams to let communities know their local venues are participating as polling sites – for a campaign called “Make History Here.”
Here in Charlotte, two of our biggest venues will be opening their doors and sanitizing their handrails for socially distanced voting options.
