New York (CNN) — Election Day is here, and along with an “I Voted” sticker, some companies are offering perks from a discounted ride to the polls to a free sweet treat.
While it’s illegal to reward people for voting or paying people to register to vote (as evidenced by the backlash against Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million sweepstakes to registered voters in swing states), these perks are promotions and discounts.
Election Day, which falls on Tuesday Nov. 5, is not a federal holiday.
