No excuses for not voting. Uber is providing free rides to the polls on Nov. 6.

The transportation provider partners with #VoteTogether and Democracy Works to provide free rides to the polls, the company says. A new button will appear in the app Nov. 6. Users can find their polling place and book a no-cost ride there.

Lyft will provide half-price rides across the country. The firm says it's "working with Vote.org, Nonprofit Vote, TurboVote and more to help distribute codes to those who need them. . . . For underserved communities, we’ll provide rides free of cost through nonpartisan, nonprofit partners, including Voto Latino, local Urban League affiliates and the National Federation of the Blind."
