How do you vote on stadiums tax in Jackson County for Kansas City Royals, Chiefs?
Kansas City and Jackson County residents are headed to the polls.
Tuesday is Election Day, and voters will decide whether to issue a 40-year, 3/8th-cent sales tax to help pay for a new Royals stadium in the Crossroads and renovations to the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium.
Voters are eligible to cast their ballot in person until 5 p.m. today. This is officially called no-excuse absentee voting. In Kansas City, you can vote early at two locations:
- The Whole Person, 3710 Main St.
- Kansas City Election Board offices, 4407 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (The board moved from its former location in Union Station last fall.)
For the rest of Jackson County — like in Raytown or Independence — you can go to the Jackson County Election Board’s Absentee Office at 110 N. Liberty, Independence, until 5 p.m. today.
If you are waiting to vote on Election Day, here’s what you need to have with you before you go to the polls.
