Vote Early. Eat Often. The Complete List of Election Freebies.

Pundits are projecting a huge turn-out on Election Day. So a word to the patriotic companies offering free goodies to those who show up sporting an I VOTED badge on Tuesday: make sure you have enough ice cream, donuts, coffee, tacos and chicken tenders for 130 million hungry voters.

Here’s the complete list of Election freebies Guru has found so far:

Guru’s Note: Most require an “I Voted” sticker so if you voted early or by absentee, find something that proves it. And as always, note the ‘any participating’ disclaimers, which means your local store may be in or not. Most offers valid on 11/04/2008 only.

Chick-fil-a: Get a free Chicken Sandwich for all voters. (In some locations, Chick-fil-a is also taking free sandwiches to election headquarters’ workers. And some locations let campaigners bring in their election yard signs on Wednesday, November 5th for a free chick sandwich.)

Krispy Kreme: Get a free red, white, and blue donut with sprinkles.

Ben & Jerry’s: Between 5-8pm you’ll get a free scoop of ice cream. This freebie has been all over Facebook, with many planning to attend.

Shane’s Rib Shack: Get an entire free “Vote America Meal” of three chicken tenders, fries, and a 20 oz drink.

Starbucks: A free cup of brewed coffee. A strategically placed television spot aired on the John McCain/SNL last night. (Carmel Mochiatto and Frappacino lovers, please note the brewed freebie only)

Daily Grill: Free Happy Hour Appetizer on Election Day. (CA, DC, MA, MD, OK, OR, TX, VA, WA)

California Tortilla : Free taco (DE, MD, DC, PA, VA, WV)

And thanks to Rock The Vote, if you simply pledge to vote, you can download these awesome songs for free:

Maroon 5 - Not Falling Apart
Sara Bareilles - Many The Miles
Phantom Planet - Dropped
Raining Jane - Incline
Menomena - Wet and Rusting
Michael Franti and Spearhead - Hey World (Don’t Give Up Version)
Ry Cuming - Home
The Duke Spirit - This Ship Was Built To Last

And if you live in Dallas, enjoy FREE TATTOO REMOVAL.

Guru’s Note: Check out the growing viral magic of that Starbucks TV spot, now posted all over on Facebook. Let’s hope the happy combination of soaring blood sugar (Ben & Jerry’s and Krispy Kreme) + uber-caffeine leads to really Rocking the Vote.

Thanks to various sites including Heyitsfree.net and Slickdeals and Dealighted.
