Wear your “I Voted” sticker and pick up some of these deals on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. If you vote early, save your sticker so you can wear it on Tuesday. Remember that participation may vary in some of these national promotions, so call ahead if you want to be sure.
The polls will be open in Sedgwick County from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Be sure to wear your mask, wash your hands, and leave plenty of space between you and the other voters. The election workers will be there to give everyone instructions so you’ll know what to do and where to be.
Voting is FREE and aren’t we thankful it is? That right was more expensive than any other election day deal we’ve ever gotten, so be sure to take advantage of it. If you’re registered to vote in Kansas, find your polling place here.
(Speaking of the cost of freedom, we’re beginning to see several Veterans Day freebies and deals announced. Be sure to check them out if you are or know a veteran.)

If you hear about a free doughnut from Krispy Kreme on election day, you might be disappointed. The Facebook event page says our Wichita location is not participating. (But don’t despair – anytime the “hot & fresh” light is on, you can go in for a free glazed doughnut.)
Seeing this posted today (11/7/2016) is a little late to let people know to save their “I Voted” sticker if they voted early. Also, if one votes by mail you don’t get a sticker so very difficult to take advantage of these deals.
Hi Carol! I published this on November 3 (which is also when I shared it to my Facebook page and sent it out in my email newsletter). That’s why I included the line about saving your “I voted early” sticker if you have one. I’m not sure why you think it was published on November 7.
As for the deals themselves being available to folks who vote by mail, I can’t help with that. All of the offers/deals/discounts are provided by the various companies or organizations. If you’d like to take advantage of a particular deal and you voted by mail, I guess you could ask them how they’re handling that. Maybe they will still let you get the deal.
