The Detroit Pistons announced today a number of initiatives aimed at registering voters and increasing turnout during upcoming local and national elections including having its Performance Center serve as a voting location.
Among other moves, the Pistons will make Aug. 4 and Nov. 3 paid days off for staff, players and personalities will star in voter education PSA videos including how to videos for voting by mail, and the organization will build a voter registration page on Pistons.com that integrates with the Michigan Bureau of Elections.
“The Detroit Pistons are tremendous civic leaders and I am proud to partner with them to ensure more citizens are educated voters and active participants in our democracy,” said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
