Across the country, we’ll give away 50% off promo codes with our partners that encourage voter turnout. We’re thrilled to be working with Vote.org, Nonprofit Vote, TurboVote and more to help distribute codes to those who need them. We’ll also have a product integration to help passengers find their polling location.
For underserved communities, we’ll provide rides free of cost through nonpartisan, nonprofit partners, including Voto Latino, local Urban League affiliates, and the National Federation of the Blind.
(Like Rydra, I am not the biggest fan of ride-sharing apps, but even here the T may not go to your polling place, rather than several hilly blocks away.)

I have voted absentee before, pretty much every other November. If I don't expect long lines, I'll go to the polling place, though, because the barriers for me are standing for very long and dealing with a lot of people in a very small space. If there are only 2-3 people in front of me, I'm okay, but there were about 6 ahead of me at the primary this year, and that pushed things.
