NEW YORK -- Nine sports franchises from Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NFL are encouraging fans to register and vote.
Sacramento Kings owner and chairman Vivek Ranadive helped spearhead the "Rally the Vote" effort. He said if teams can make ticket buying to sporting events accessible in a few clicks, there is no reason registering to vote shouldn't be the same.
The Kings, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks are among the NBA teams offering fans a platform to register starting Tuesday on the teams' mobile apps, websites and social media.
