Maharashtra Elections 2024: The Maharashtra Assembly Elections are scheduled to take place on November 20, 2024, in a single phase across the state. In a move to boost voter 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 in the city. The offer will be valid on November 20 and 21, 2024. According to Rachel Goenka, NRAI Mumbai Chapter Head, the objective is to inspire “young urban voters to actively engage in the voting process.”

The discount will be applicable on the total dine-bill at restaurants that have chosen to participate in this initiative. More than 50 eating joints in the city have already confirmed the same. Options range from popular cafes and casual spots to fine-dining restaurants and award-winning establishments. Note that only voters registered in Mumbai can take advantage of the offer. After voting, you will have to present a voter ID showing your Mumbai residency and your inked finger as proof of voting at the chosen restaurant before paying the bill. This will make you eligible for the 20% “Democracy Discount”.
