Philadelphia restaurants to feed election workers on election day

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia restaurants give citizens a reason to vote on election day.

Downtown Taquería Mission is organizing a coalition of restaurants to encourage residents to become election officials by offering them a free meal that will be delivered to their polling station on election day.

Philadelphia County takes hundreds of workers to fill all of the polling stations. the

The Philadelphia City Commissioners Office typically opens more than 800 polling stations, but without enough help, many remain closed, resulting in longer queues, discouraged voters, and less turnout.

Mission Taquería works with Power the Polls, a national campaign that helps state and local governments manage voting apps and voter messages.

Registered voters can now register online here .

Once assigned to a polling station, those who registered through Mission Taquería's Fuel the Polls campaign will receive a free lunch at one of the participating restaurants.

Confirmed participants in this initiative include Oyster House, Middle Child, Martha, Mikes BBQ, Essen Bakery, Kalaya, Bing Bing Dim Sum / Cheu Noodle Bar, Laser Wolf and Bunny Hop, a culinary kitchen in West Philly. Other restaurants are expected to come to us as well.

Power the Polls also agreed to be a benefactor of Fuel the Polls, which covers all food expenses for attendees.
