#pollperks campaign launched to help local businesses and get out the vote

The bipartisan campaign #pollperks is aimed at getting Central Texans to the polls while also helping local businesses in Austin and San Antonio. Voters can show off their "I Voted" stickers and get a discount, freebie, or a treat.

All participating businesses are voluntarily taking part to help their staff and the community at large during a particularly hard time for restaurants and shops, so #pollperks also asks Austinites and San Antoninians to show up and show out for their local businesses. Additionally, Austinites and San Antonians are encouraged to redeem only one offer.

Participating businesses require patrons to present their “I Voted’ sticker and it is one discount, treat, or freebie per voter at each participating business. The promotion runs during the length of early voting which began October 13 and ends November 3.
