Krispy Kreme is encouraging voters to hit the polls on Election Day with a free doughnut [1]. On Tuesday Nov. 8, all you have to do is visit a Krispy Kreme shop before or after casting your ballot, and you'll receive a free Original Glazed doughnut.
"A healthy, vibrant democracy depends on engaged citizens who vote," Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a statement per the Miami Herald [2]. "So cast your vote and stop by; you deserve our sweet thanks."
There's a lot riding on this midterm election [3], and Krispy Kreme aren't the only ones offering incentives to get people out and voting. You can even get a discounted Lyft ride to and from the polls [4]. It also isn't the famous doughnut shop's first time offering a sweet treat to voters. In 2020, they even upped the offer to a doughnut and an "I Voted" sticker [5], since more people were voting by mail due to the pandemic and missing out on the typical sticker.
