Election Day freebies: Here's where to find deals

Midterm elections are notoriously known for not drawing great turnouts, but this year several brands are offering deals in hopes of increasing voter participation.

According to Fortune, about four in 10 eligible Americans vote in midterms, compared to six in 10 for presidential elections.

While there have been questions in the past on whether it’s legal to offer freebies to voters, many companies are taking the safe route and are offering the deal to anyone who asks.

However, Uber, Lyft and other ride services are only offering free or discounted rides to polling locations in a nationwide effort to encourage voters to show up.

Here’s a list of other places offering deals this Election Day.
