Hawks go beyond black square, push for state’s largest polling station
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports After acknowledging change in the country is necessary, State Farm Arena and the Atlanta Hawks took it a step further with action.
State Farm Arena is now home to Georgia’s largest voting precinct ever. The venue will allow all Fulton County registered residents to vote in the upcoming elections while adhering to the CDC social distancing guidelines. The station is open to the public on July 20, which is when early voting for the Georgia General Primary Runoff Election on Aug. 11 begins. Fulton County Registration & Elections will operate election tasks at the site like processing absentee ballots.
