There aresignificantly fewerpolling locations available in the 2024 election compared to 2020, which could result in longer travel times and decreased modes of transportation to the polls. But, asUber statedin a press release of their own, transportation access “shouldn’t be a barrier for any eligible citizen to vote.”

To claim Uber’s Election Day discount, riders can find a “Go Vote” button on the app’s home screen, where they’ll be prompted to enter their home address and find their polling location. Then, voters can request a ride to that location, which will be automatically added as the destination.

Uber’s Election Day offer will start at 4 a.m. and end at 11:59 p.m., in riders’ local time. Additionally, Uber will feature a special American flag-wrapped logo on all UberX icons on Election Day to remind citizens to vote and will also offer 25% off on election night UberEats orders.
