The Sacramento Kings are making an initiative to improve civic engagement. A few weeks after making Election Day a company holiday, the franchise announced today that it will turn the Golden 1 Center into a Vote Center for the upcoming general election in November.
What that means is that people can vote at the arena, pick up and drop off their ballots, update their registration, and receive language assistance. The Vote Center will be open from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, which is the date of the presidential election. The facility will be completely staffed by Kings employees, there will be free parking, and there will be enough space to follow social distancing procedures.
