FAQs
Who can participate?
Anyone who lives in and is eligible to vote in the City of Milwaukee.
Do I have to be registered to vote in advance?
No, but if you're not yet registered, please be aware of what you should bring with you. If you have a driver's license or state ID, you can register online here.
You say you can bring me home or to work. Can you pick me up at work, then to early vote, then home?
Sure, as long as you're starting and ending in the City of Milwaukee. We're happy to help!
How long will I have to wait for a ride?
Depends. On Tuesdays, we're closed to the public, so it'll just be one of the owners driving you when their kids will let them get free. On other days, we may have to wrap up a food delivery or two first, but we should be able to get there within a few hours. If you can vote early (and that's pretty much everyone!), though, please do. We'll be much busier on election day, and the wait might be several hours.
Can I pay the driver?
We appreciate the offer, but please don't. We don't take advantage of the laws in Wisconsin that allow restaurants to only pay their delivery drivers $2.33 an hour, so they're getting a fair wage while working, and are on the clock while doing so. All drivers have oped in to help with this effort, and they're happy to help. They're not going to turn down some cookies or anything, though.
Are you trying to get us to vote for specific candidates?
Nope. We won't even talk to you about the election during the ride unless you ask for the driver's opinion, or need information on registering/voting.
Didn't you used to have a limousine for this? What happened to the Electoralimo?
We did! It was a bit difficult to maintain an awesome 1989 Lincoln Towncar limo for use twice a year, but let us know if you're part of a non-profit who we could donate it to. It's an awesome ride, just not super efficient.
Are you insured for this?
We are, thanks to Progressive Insurance, who modified our policy - for free - to allow us to temporarily deliver democracy as well as pizzas!
I own a business with vehicles - can we help, too?
Yes! Drop us a line, and we'd be happy to work with you. Your insurance should be able to do a "temporary modification" to your delivery fleet's insurance to allow you to carry customers to the polls for a limited period. If they won't, they suck, and you should find another company.
