The Boston Red Sox may be out of the MLB playoff picture this season, but Fenway Park won’t be entirely empty this October.
The Boston Election Commission approved a plan Thursday to use the historic ballpark as one of the city’s early voting sites for the general election on Oct. 17 and 18. According to the plan, any registered voter who lives in Boston will be able to cast their ballot at Fenway Park during those two days.
“Voting is one of the best ways to support and champion the issues and policies we value and what better way for the Red Sox to help with that effort than to open up our ballpark for Boston residents to cast their early ballots,” Sam Kennedy, the team’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
