Worried about the presidential election? First, read Money’s reporting on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s positions on important financial issues. Then treat yourself to a free donut or milkshake.
On Tuesday, businesses small and large celebrate the democratic process with free gifts and discounts.
Here’s a look at some of the 2024 Election Day deals that may be available in your area:
Ikea
Free Ice Cream: You can enjoy free frozen yogurt at participating Ikea stores, no purchase (or “I Voted” sticker required). Just present this coupon code.
Uber
The ride-sharing company is offering 50% off up to $10 off a ride to your polling place. Be sure to use the “Go Vote” tab in the app to book your ride. Uber Eats will also be running a 25% off promotion starting at 6:00 pm local time to fuel your TV consumption on election night.
Other transportation companies offering delivery services to polling places include Hertz, Lyft and Lime.
Krispy Kreme
The company is promoting “Testocracy” by giving away free donuts at participating stores. Offer valid for one glazed donut per person. Krispy Kreme is also giving away “I Voted” stickers, but you don’t necessarily need an official sticker to get a free donut.
Chuck E. Cheese
Some families have a day off from work and/or school and Chuck E. Cheese wants them to come to the arcade. On Tuesday, you can get a free second hour of unlimited gaming when you purchase your first hour.
Pizza for the elections
The nonprofit delivers free pizza to polling places all day long, specifically to places with long lines. Visit their website to report locations with lines or to make a donation.
Johnny Rockets
Customers can get a free cocktail at the fast-food chain on Election Day. Just mention “free cocktail” at the checkout.
Check local offers
Local businesses across the country are offering their own deals. In Austin, for example, Texas Reddit users have collected dozens of promotions at cafes, record stores, bars, and more.
In many cases, local establishments will want to see your “I Voted” sticker—something large national chains typically don’t require due to potential legal issues. (Notably, Ben & Jerry’s had to change its free ice cream offer in 2008 after initially requiring a sticker.)
Check social media pages, discussion forums or news outlets in your area to see what deals are available on Election Day.
