All The #ElectionDay 2018 Food And Booze Freebies And Deals

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

The rewards of living in a democratic nation where venal, power-hungry politicians can be voted out of office should be enough. But a free cookie and a cheap cocktail never hurt.

Los Angeles restaurants and bars are offering some great perks for anyone who voted in what might be The Most Important Election Of Your Life. So go vote in the 2018 midterms. Then whip out your "I Voted" 🇺🇸 sticker and enjoy these food and drink deals, because they're only valid on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.
