The San Francisco 49ers will make Levi’s Stadium a voting center for the Nov. 3 election, the club announced in a Tuesday morning press release.
Any resident from Santa Clara County can vote in-person or deposit their ballot at the stadium. The SAP Tower atrium will be open for early voting starting on Oct. 31 (9am-5pm) and through Election Day on Nov. 3 (7am-8pm). Free parking is available in the Great America lot, next to the stadium.
The move is part of the team’s ongoing get out the vote efforts and the NFL Votes initiative to drive voter awareness and turnout.
“The 49ers have joined with California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, More Than A Vote, and founding partner Levi’s to ensure Santa Clara County residents have a safe and easily accessible location to drop off their ballots, participate in early voting, or vote in-person on election day,” the team said in a statement.
Levi’s also operated as a voting center for the California primary in March.
"Our partnership with Levi's Stadium and the 49ers is another touchdown for democracy this year,” Padilla said. "The addition of voting venues that allow for social distancing are critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to be inspired by sports venues opening their doors for new and safe voting options this year and hope it inspires other teams to follow suit as the clock runs down on the November General Election.”
