Ben & Jerry's are offering a free scoop of ice cream at all their stores across the country, between 5 and 8 pm local time on Election Day.

Ben and Jerry's is offering the promotion in hopes to get more people to go out and vote on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

Starbucks is offering customers a free cup of coffee if they voted on Election Day, while Krispy Kreme is offering voters a free star-shaped donut.

Chick-Fil-A's voting promotion includes giving coupons for free chicken tenders, sandwiches and milkshakes to participants that wear an "I Voted" sticker into their establishment.

California Tortilla is giving out free Mexican food to voters, while Shane's Rib Shack is offering one free "Celebrate America Meal" will be offered to the first 300 customers at participating locations.
