Americans will heave a sigh of relief Nov. 6 as Election Day marks the end to exhausting yearlong presidential campaigns. To encourage voting, several shops and organizations are offering a host of freebies or Election Day specials Tuesday.

Though the debate and lawsuits on the legality of the Election Day freebies continue, there are retailers offering free trips to voting stations, free coffee, yoga classes and even flu vaccinations.

However, Hurricane Sandy’s devastation and the economic slowdown have made the Election Day freebies a low-key affair, and the massive ad campaigns which otherwise mark the occasion are absent this year.

Free Trips To Polling Stations And Back

Several transport companies are offering free rides to and from the polling stations on Election Day. Uber is teaming up with Rock the Vote to offer all voters in America who have never tried Uber, a “Freedom Ride” to their polling stations, during the voting hours.

Zipcar’s Zip to the Polls program in partnership with Rock the Vote has a 50 percent discount for all commuters during the election hours (5 a.m. to 9 p.m.).

The Capital District Transportation Authority will offer its STAR customers free transportation to polling places on Election Day and provide free trips to polling stations in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer counties that are within three-quarters of a mile of CDTA fixed routes.

Free Holiday Trips

JetBlue's Election Protection promotion gives voters a chance to win a free round trip out of the country if their desired candidate loses the election.

Free Yoga

The Yoga apparel company Lululemon is offering complimentary yoga classes to the voters to relax after the voting.

The Yoga Bar on Main Street in Downtown Cincinnati is offering free yoga classes on Election Day.
