About 31 percent of eligible voters have cast ballots for the Seattle Sounders’ second-ever vote on retaining their general manager, a team spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday. That means that several thousand more votes must be cast in order to reach 40 percent, when the election’s results would become binding. In an effort to push the vote beyond that mark, the Sounders have extended the voting window until 7 p.m. PT (shortly after Wednesday’s game in Orlando City ends). Lagerwey also answered questions during a Facebook Live session on Tuesday.
Although it is now too late to vote in person, online ballots can still be cast.
