"Voting is one of the very foundations of our democracy and one of the simplest ways to make your voice heard, said David Young, the general manager at CenturyLink Field. "We could not pass up another opportunity to share with our fans and residents how critical it is to get registered, cast your ballot, and stand up for what you believe in — no matter what that might be."

While ballots may still be dropped in a mailbox free of charge, Friday was the last recommended day for mailing, to ensure a postmark by the election day deadline. Those who still need to vote can visit a voting center or return their ballots at dozens of drop boxes placed around the county until 8 p.m. Tuesday.
At CenturyLink Field, voters are required to wear a face covering, which can be provided on-site, if needed.
Get registered, cast your ballot, and stand up for what you believe in. We’re happy to partner with @kcelections as an official Vote Center location for the August 4 Primary election.
