Election Day freebies and deals

Bargain hunters always vote for savings, especially for any Election Day deals!

Election Day in 2022 is  Nov. 8 and early voting is already happening across the country. 

No matter your politics, it’s very important to vote. If you haven’t already voted, please make time to make your voice heard and vote on Election Day.

For doing your patriotic duty, some restaurants and businesses will reward voters with discounts and giveaways. 

Last year’s Election Day Freebies and Deals

For every big election year, many restaurants and businesses often offer Election Day deals. However, participation varies each time. 

Some may want to see an “I Voted” sticker, so be sure to pick one up as you leave the polls. Some may require downloading an app or joining a loyalty club. However, joining those programs is almost always FREE. 

All deals are only valid at participating locations, while supplies last. There may be some regional variations, as not all locations participate in every promotion. Therefore, t’s always wise to call ahead to verify participation and details.

Many chains announce Election Day deals at the last minute. We’ll continually update the round-up, as more deals are confirmed.

Boston Market

Election Day could stretch well into the evening, so Boston Market wants to make sure every American remains well fed with a FREE slider from 9 p.m. to closing at all of its more than 225 locations nationwide on Nov. 3. (Most locations close at 10 p.m.) No purchase necessary.

The chain’s new sliders include Chicken Cheddar, Turkey Cheddar, Chicken Chipotle and BBQ Meatloaf. Each is made with all-natural and fresh, never frozen Boston Market rotisserie chicken, signature meatloaf or turkey. 

Krispy Kreme

Anyone who visits Krispy Kreme on Election Day is in for a sweet treat: a FREE Original Glazed Doughnut.

To celebrate and share the pride in voting, they will also offer  “I Voted” stickers to customers. The popular stickers may be more difficult to attain due to the increase in people voting by mail and safety precautions being taken at polling places across the country. 

McDonald’s

McDonald’s is adding three new baked goods to its popular menu for the first time in more than eight years. To celebrate the addition, they’re offering one for FREE with the purchase of any-sized hot or iced coffee via its app — from Nov. 3 to 9.
