Georgia Tech basketball arena to serve as a polling location for upcoming elections
ATLANTA — Voters will soon have another place in Atlanta to cast their ballots.
On Friday, Georgia Tech athletics announced that Tech’s McCamish Pavilion will be used as a polling location for the upcoming election cycle.
According to the school, the home of Georgia Tech men’s and women’s basketball will serve as a polling location for the upcoming general election and runoffs.
“Offering McCamish Pavilion as a polling place is another action that we are taking to stress the importance of voting," Georgia Tech director of athletics Todd Stansbury said in a statement. “Many thanks go to Georgia Tech’s Voter Registration and Education Advisory Group, the Student Government Association and the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections for helping make it a reality."
According to the school, the initiative is an effort to be the first athletics department in the country to make election day a day off from mandatory athletic activities for its student-athletes.
