Introduction

While searching for information about election day freebies in Santa Cruz, the available documents do not contain specific details about offers available in Santa Cruz for Election Day. However, the source material does provide information about election day freebies in Austin, Texas, and Veterans Day offers in Las Vegas. This article will present the verified information about these promotional offers while noting the absence of specific Santa Cruz election day freebies in the provided sources.

Election Day Freebies in Austin, Texas

The most comprehensive information about election day freebies comes from Austin, Texas, where numerous restaurants offered special deals to voters during the 2024 election season. These offers were available during early voting (October 21 through November 1) and on Election Day (November 5, 2024).

Several coffee shops and breweries in Austin provided free or discounted beverages to voters with "I Voted" stickers:

  • Bakery Lorraine: Offered a free small house coffee to people with voting stickers at their Austin and San Antonio locations
  • Barrett's Coffee: Provided a free drip coffee or cold brew with a voting sticker
  • Double Trouble: Barrett's sibling cafe also offered a free drip coffee or cold brew with a voting sticker
  • Austin Beerworks: Both brewery locations offered a free beer on Election Day to people with their voting stickers
  • Easy Tiger: Both locations offered a free 16-ounce draft of St Elmo Brewing Co.'s Carl Kölsch-style beer Carl to people with stickers only on Election Day
