LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas voters will now be able to cast their ballots at Allegiant Stadium for the first time in its history.
The Nevada Secretary of State and the Clark County Election Department announced Friday that stadium would become a polling place on Election Day to help encourage voter turnout.
“This fall, the country will be looking to Nevada to decide who the next president is, and we need voters to get in the game,” said Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar. “We’re thrilled to partner with Clark County and the Las Vegas Raiders to open the doors to Allegiant Stadium, giving Nevadans a unique voting experience this fall. Participation in the electoral process is more important than ever, and now any eligible voter in Clark County can head to an iconic location on Election Day and Just Vote, Baby!”
“The great state of Nevada makes registration and voting easy and accessible. The Raiders and Allegiant Stadium are proud to do our part to encourage high turnout by providing a central location for Clark County voters to cast their ballots on election day,” said Raiders Owner Mark Davis.
On Nov. 5, voters who cast their ballot at Allegiant will receive an exclusive “I VOTED” sticker.
“One of the goals of the Clark County Election Department is to make sure every eligible voter has access to the polls and what better way to do that than open up our largest location at Allegiant Stadium,” said Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo. “It is important to remember that voters can cast their ballot or drop off a mail ballot at any Vote Center, so we hope folks from all corners of Clark County take advantage of this incredible location.”
The NFL and Las Vegas Raiders launched a webpage “Las Vegas Votes” with additional information on how to vote at Allegiant Stadium and resources for voters and residents eligible to vote.
