As early voting enters its second and final week, Texans have until Friday, November 1 to cast their ballots — or wait until Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, of course.
As they typically do for election season, a number of Houston restaurants and bars will reward those who fulfill their civic duty with food and drink specials. Typically, that involves showing off an “I Voted” sticker. Sure, it’s not quite a $1 million raffle for pledging to support the Constitution, but a free burger is a free burger.
We’ll keep this list updated with specials through Election Day, so keep checking back to see all the benefits of utilizing your right to vote.
