  1. Stuck in a long line waiting to vote? This nonpartisan nonprofit wants to help you make the best of it by sending you — and every voter around you — free pizza. All you have to do is report a long line through Pizza Polls' submission form. It’ll ask you for a delivery address, a photo or link to a social media post to verify the line, your phone number, and an estimate of the line’s wait time. (Most deliveries take at least 90 minutes). Once volunteers verify the line, pizza (or snacks) will be heading your way. The food is free for everyone, including voters, their kids, polling staff, and anyone else hungry for a slice. Locations vary, polls.pizza
