As voters around the country hit the polls, restaurants and other businesses want to make sure they are rewarded with deals.



If you're voting on Tuesday, you can hitch a ride for a discount, and after that you can take advantage of a number of other deals.



Many of these deals give you the option to use a code rather than to prove you voted. Under federal law, "whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote" could be subject to a fine.



TRANSPORTATION



Many cities are offering free public transportation. In addition, businesses are offering discounts, citing studies that say transportation issues provide a barrier to voting.



Lime: The bike-sharing service is offering free rides of up to 30 minutes to and from your polling place with code LIME2VOTE2018.



Motivate: The company which operates bike-sharing services in several cities around the country is offering a free day pass after you use the code for your area.



Lyft: The ride-sharing service is offering 50% off of rides to the polls, with free rides in underserved communities, they announced in a blog post.
