United Center Set To Serve As Super Site for Voting On Election Day
When you think of the United Center, many think of going to see the Chicago Bulls or going to see their favorite artists in concert; but on Election Day, the arena will be used as a super site to vote.
The exciting news broke today when the Chicago Board of Elections announced their partnership with the United Center, which will be the first time utilizing the facility to vote in the arena's history.
"We are proud to partner with the United Center to make voting even easier for Chicagoans on Election Day," said Chicago Board of Election Chairwoman Marisel Hernandez. "We're encouraging everyone to plan their vote - whether that's by mail, early in person, or in person on Election Day - there are multiple options and we hope Chicagoans will choose the option most convenient for them to vote."
We're told that all COVID-19 safety guidelines will be in place at The UC and doors will open to all Chicago voters from 6:00AM - 7:00PM CT, in addition to providing same-day voter registration, Vote by Mail, ballot return, and in-person voting.
It also states, if voters plans to register in-person on Election Day, they'll need two forms of I.D., at least one of which shows the voter's current address. The United Center will also have a Secured Drop Box available for voters to return Vote by Mail ballots in their signed, sealed Ballot Return Envelope.
The United Center is located at 1901 W. Madison and to access the polling place, voters will be directed to park in Lot K (gate off Adams Street) and enter via the South Atrium Entrance.
You can also plan your vote at ChicagoElections.gov and learn more about the United Center Super Site at UnitedCenter.com/VOTE or by following the United Center on social media.
