KC Star: The Chiefs want to turn Arrowhead Stadium into a voting location this November

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and safety Tyrann Mathieu have pledged to become involved in voter registration movements. As part of their objectives, they said they have spoken with Donovan, as well as Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt.

On Wednesday, Donovan said the organization is trying to make Arrowhead Stadium a polling location in November.

“Voting registration and voter engagement, I personally believe, is very important. And people exercising their right to vote, I personally believe, is very important. I think Patrick, Tyrann, others, I’m really proud to be associated with those guys in their efforts. I appreciate that they mentioned we’ve had those discussions, and I’ve been in those discussions. We have some plans to do things in and around this election that are going to be focused on, number one, awareness of the importance of voting; number two, creating awareness of the ways people can register to vote, the ways people can engage and doing that through the experts in that space.
