The ride-hailing company announced earlier this month that it’s partnering with #VoteTogether and Democracy Works to provide promo codes for free rides on Nov. 6 to get voters out to the polls.
Having free transportation can eliminate a barrier in getting voters to the polls. And riders who aren’t sure where to vote can find their polling location via the Uber app as long as they have the latest version of the app.
No proof of voting is required to use the free rides.
I reached out to Uber to get more details on how the promo code will be distributed under its “Uber Drives the Vote” offer and will update this post once I get more information.
For another option to get to your polling place, Lyft will provide free and discounted rides on Nov. 6, as we reported back in August. Some public transit systems — like in Columbia, South Carolina, and Waco, Texas — will give free rides on Election Day, so check to see if your local transit system has a similar promotion.
You could also contact your local Democratic or Republican party office to find out if they have volunteers who can provide free transportation to the polls. A Penny Hoarder reader suggested this tip, and I think it never hurts to ask.
