For voters, a drink is on the house at Volcano's

With voter turnout generally decreasing each year, some government bodies are looking for incentives to get people to vote. In Arizona, they’re trying a million-dollar lottery for voters. In Houston, we had the free flu-shots at some locations for the elderly, until that was shot down.

Houstonist doesn’t need an incentive to vote – we educate ourselves on the issues and then go to the polling station to cast our vote. However, we like Under the Volcano’s idea – bring proof that you voted, and you’ll get a free drink. Mmmm … we’re already salivating at the thought of one of their fantastic frozen screwdrivers or Mojitos!

This is a one-day only special for the Rice Village-area bar, and you must have proof of voting (so don’t chunk that e-slate receipt). If you voted early, that’s fine – as long as you still have the receipt. When you get there tomorrow, look for Houstonist to be hanging out by the jukebox (the best jukebox in town, according to the Houston Press).
