MILWAUKEE, Wis. - It's Election Day in America, and voters will cast their ballots in high-stakes races across the country for the 2026 midterms. Outside the voting booth, several deals and freebies are rolling out nationwide.
Free Election Day doughnuts
The offer:
Krispy Kreme is rewarding customers who voted with a free glazed doughnut. To get the deal, all you have to do is say you voted or show an employee your "I Voted" sticker on Tuesday, Nov. 3. No purchase is necessary, but there's a limit of one doughnut per customer while supplies last.
