Maharashtra Elections 2024: Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on November 20, 2024, in a single phase across the state. To boost turnout, the Mumbai chapter of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) has announced a special incentive. The initiative, called the “Democracy Discount”, promises voters a 20% dining discount at select establishments across the city. This offer will be valid on November 20 and 21, 2024. According to NRAI Mumbai chapter head Rachel Goenka, the aim is to “motivate young urban voters to actively engage in the voting process”.

This discount will be applicable on the total bill for food at restaurants that have opted to participate in this initiative. More than 50 restaurants in the city have already confirmed this. Options range from popular cafes and casual spots to fine dining restaurants and award-winning establishments. Note that only voters registered in Mumbai can avail this offer. After voting, you will have to present a voter ID card showing your Mumbai residence and your inked finger as proof of voting at the chosen restaurant before paying the bill.
