Dallas' American Airlines Center will serve as the largest polling place in Dallas County on Election Day, Nov. 3.
The home of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars came to be a polling place following larger discussions between NBA teams and players around social justice and racial equality. The league said Friday they hoped to work with local elections officials to convert the facilities into voting locations for the November election in all cities where the league franchise owns or controls the property.
For the Mavericks, using the AAC as a polling place is part of their "Mavs Take ACTION!" plan to address racial inequalities and promote social justice and change in North Texas.
