If you’d like a big “Thank You” for voting, many places around town will honor your civic duty and your “I Voted” sticker with freebies and discounts tomorrow. Big thanks toThrillist for the list.

CHAIN FREEBIES: Start off with a free cup of Joe from Starbucks and a free star-shaped donut from any Krispy Kreme, and then head to any Ben & Jerry's for a free scoop of ice cream. All Daily Grill locations are giving out free appetizers to voters, and happy hour will be expanded throughout the evening (bar only). Bless you, America. [EaterWire; Fast Food maven]



OBurger will give you free organic fries or cookies with the purchase of a burger.

Amoeba Music will be handing out $2 gift certificates.

Tart Restaurant is offering free desserts for all comers with their I Voted stickers. They are also offering discounted drinks and a special election night menu.

Get your vote on early to get this deal: If you need to gird your loins in the middle of the day, Pink Taco is offering a free well-shot of tequila and three free pink tacos at lunch.

At Pitfire Pizza you can choose between either a free “Edison Ale” or a McCain/Obama specialty soda.

Ask your local favorite retailer if they are doing anything to say “thanks for voting” and your sticker!
