The Larry H. Miller Group, Utah Jazz and LHMSE supported a robust nonpartisan civic engagement campaign to promote public participation and encourage guests and fans to make their voices heard. Vivint Arena along with Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres provided in-person voting sites on Election Day as well as early voting opportunities in Utah County. In addition, all LHM Group of Companies employees were allowed paid time off to vote in person and had the opportunity to volunteer as poll workers. We worked closely with the state office of elections to ensure that our efforts would be consistent and align with their key dates and messaging.
“Exercising our right to vote allows us to share our voice and to act to preserve our rights and freedoms.”

Here are a few of the highlights from our Election Day activities and support:
Rally The Vote Coalition
The Jazz joined this nonpartisan coalition of more than 50 professional franchises across seven sports leagues.

We provided prizes for the participants including: Bees vouchers, Megaplex popcorn vouchers, autographed player photos and five autographed team balls for a statewide voter challenge between the universities and colleges throughout the state sponsored by the Lt. Governor’s Office.

Our values of Service and Stewardship encourage employees to find opportunities to make a difference. By taking part in civic engagement, we are doing our part to bring about change to our community and the country. Democracy works best when everyone participates.
