KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Utah Jazz want you to vote.
This isn’t about an All-Star ballot or any NBA-related honors. The Jazz, along with many teams in the league, are leaning on the power of their platform to rally people around civic engagement.
“People might think that their vote doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but it really does,” guard Mike Conley said on Saturday. “Go to your local and state legislation and try to figure out ways to improve your communities and your cities. That’s where it starts.”
The Jazz are hoping that through multiple different initiatives, including opening up Vivint Arena as a polling site, they can increase voter registration and turnout and increase education surrounding not just national elections, but local and state elections as well.
