Just for doing your patriotic duty and casting your vote, some local businesses want to show you their appreciation. Just present your “I Voted” sticker or if you voted early or by absentee ballot, your voter ID card to claim the deal.
These offers are what we’ve been able to verify so far. Check back with us to see what else we find!
