Free Uber Rides to the Election Polls | Bay Area

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Decisions get made by those who show up. This Election Day, Uber will be doing what they can to make it easier for people to do just that with free rides to the polls.

To help the millions of Americans who cite transportation barriers as the reason they don’t vote, Uber will be partnering with #VoteTogether and Democracy Works to provide free rides to the polls.

On Tuesday, November 6, anyone in the U.S. will be able to quickly find their polling place and book a ride to go vote—with just a few taps in the Uber app. (Make sure you’re using the latest version of the app.)

To date, #VoteTogether and Democracy Works have been engaging with groups of voters to help ensure that transportation isn’t a barrier in getting to the polls. #VoteTogether has already gotten started with a focus on early voting. Their organization has sent out promo codes enabling over 15,000 potential voters to get a ride to and from the poll parties they’re facilitating across the country.

In addition to our work with partners, Uber will also be offering $10 off a single ride to the polls on Election Day on the most affordable Uber option available in your city (Express POOL, POOL, or UberX, in that order).

Riders will be able to take advantage of this discount by following these easy steps:

1. Make sure you have the most recent version of the Uber app.
2. Enter the promotional code VOTE2018 in your app. (Tap Menu > Payment > Add Promo Code)
