Election Day is nearly here, and if you haven’t already mailed in your ballot or gone in for early voting, you might need a ride come November 5.
Here’s a roundup of some of the freebies, discounts, and information on getting to the polls that organizations are offering.
Lyft announced that riders can preload the code VOTE24 for a half-price discount of up to $10 on rideshare, bike-share, or scooter rides on or before Nov. 5. The code is only valid between 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every time zone.
Uber also announced it will offer half-off rideshare costs of up to $10 on Election Day for users in most states.
Using a new "Go Vote" tile displayed on the app, users can book a ride to the nearest poll with the discount unless they are in California or Georgia.
