Orlando Magic, city and county announce Amway Center to be polling location [View all]
With a push from the Orlando Magic, Amway Center is about to become the largest early-voting site in Orange County.
And one of the Magics tallest players could be welcoming voters as they walk in.
The arena will be open to Orange County residents for early voting from Monday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 1 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, officials announced on Wednesday. All registered voters from Orange County will be able to cast their ballot at Amway, which will be one of 20 early-voting sites in the county for the 2020 general election.
Magic center Mo Bamba first raised the idea of utilizing the space available at Amway, and the team went to work with the city of Orlando, which owns and operates the arena, Orange County and the Orange County Supervisor of Elections to achieve the goal.
