Lime, the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company, is bringing its popular “Lime to the Polls” program back to New York City from Oct. 29 through Election Day, Tuesday Nov. 5. In cities around the U.S. Lime is showing up with partners like “When We All Vote,” “Community College Commitment” led by Levi Strauss & Co., “Vote Early Day” and more to provide resources to register, make a plan, and go vote.

Lime officials said the company is focused on working with communities where access to the polls isn’t always easy, such as community colleges, transit deserts and states with low voter turnout. Lime riders have taken over 1000 Lime rides to the polls for free in The Bronx and this year, are extending the service to Queens.

To activate the promotion, Lime officials said riders can use the Lime app, and use the code VOTE2024 to activate the two free rides, to and from the polls.
