The Jaguars are partnering with the Duval County Supervisor of Elections Office to "establish a secure vote-by-mail ballot drop box in Lot J at TIAA Bank Field for the final week of Florida's early voting window," according to John Reid of the FLORIDA TIMES-UNION. Voters "can take advantage of the drop site" from 7:00am-7:00pm ET beginning Oct. 26-Nov. 1. The ballot drop box is "part of the franchise's season-long 'Get in the Game' campaign to encourage civic engagement through voting." The Lot J ballot drop box "will be staffed by poll workers." Voters "can simply drive up, roll down their window, and insert their ballot into the secure drop box." The Jaguars launched the "Get in the Game" campaign in early September with a "public service announcement by players and coaches, including coach Doug Marrone and QB Gardner Minshew II, encouraging voter registration." The team has "committed to regular updates for fans on voting deadlines and activations via social media, on game day, through grassroots activities and local and national partnerships." Many Jaguars' front office employees "have received poll worker training and will work at precincts on Election Day on Nov. 3" (FLORIDA TIMES-UNION, 10/21).

OPENING THEIR DOORS: In Phoenix, Jose Romero notes Gila River Arena is "set to become a voting center starting on Oct. 28, with the home of the Coyotes opened up as a place to not only drop off ballots but cast them as well." The facility "joins nearby State Farm Stadium and Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix as voting locations that will be open to any Maricopa County registered voter." Coyotes President & CEO Xavier Gutierrez said that members of his staff "came up with idea to use Gila River Arena" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 10/21).
