In an effort to encourage voter turnout, numerous hotels and restaurants in Ludhiana, Punjab, have pledged to offer a 25% discount on lunch and dinner bills on June 1, the day of the seventh phase of India’s general elections, if voters present their ink-marked fingers. The initiative, spearheaded by the district administration and led by Additional District Election Officer-cum-Additional Deputy Commissioner Amit Sareen, aims to reach a 70% voter turnout in the Lok Sabha elections.
Participating voters in Delhi’s sixth phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2024 on May 25 will be treated to a variety of delectable discounts at restaurants and food outlets. Eateries around Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, and Delhi Gate are offering up to 25% off, while the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dwarka is providing 50% and 30% off on lunch and dinner buffets, respectively. McDonald’s cafes have a ‘Election Surprise Offer’ that includes a free beverage or dessert with the purchase of a Chicken/Veg Surprise Burger.

Discounts are available upon showing proof of participation, such as an inked finger.
