Multiple businesses are offering discounts for Election Day, with deals coming from rideshare companies Uber and Lyft, Edible Arrangements and IKEA.

Until 10 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Lyft is offering 50% off rides to the polls, up to $10 off, for customers who use the code VOTE24. The discount can be for rideshares, bikeshares or scooters, according to Lyft.

Competitor Uber has the same deal on rides to the polls, 50% off for up to $10, for users who access its “Go Vote” tile in the Uber app in applicable states. Starting at 6 p.m. local time Tuesday until 7 a.m. Wednesday, Uber Eats is offering 25% on orders that cost at least $25 for up to $15 off at participating restaurants, Uber said.

Multiple food offers can be found elsewhere on Election Day. At IKEA’s in-store bistros, customers can use a QR code coupon for one free frozen yogurt. Doughnut chain Krispy Kreme is handing out one free original glazed doughnut to customers at participating stores, as well as “I Voted” stickers.

At Edible Arrangements, customers who come in with an “I Voted” sticker can get one free treat, the company said in a social media post.

Three restaurant chains in the FAT Brands portfolio also have Election Day deals. 

Leading the trio is burger chain Johnny Rockets with free milkshakes to people with proof that they cast a ballot. Round Table Pizza has $6 off large or extra-large pizzas. Fast casual Italian food chain Fazoli’s has $2 off its signature bake items in-store at participating locations, FAT Brands told Axios.
