Businesses across Israel are offering a range of discounts and freebies to encourage people to vote and enjoy their day off on election day. Restaurants are providing complimentary wine and menu discounts, while cinemas are selling tickets for as little as 27 shekels. These promotions aim to turn the national holiday into a celebration and attract customers looking for activities.

Participating establishments include "Lounel" restaurant, which will offer a free glass of wine to those showing their voting slip, alongside a special election-themed brunch. "Per Dreyer" restaurant is providing a 15% discount on Israeli wines and special dishes like falafel, hummus, and sabich. "Yes Planet" cinemas are selling tickets at a symbolic 27 shekel price, referencing the election date.

According to marketing expert Avi Zeitan, election day presents a prime opportunity for businesses to attract customers seeking entertainment on their day off. These promotions are also a strategic business move, as families and individuals out for leisure can boost revenue for establishments. However, the offers do not make outings entirely free, with main courses at "Lounel" ranging from approximately 30 to over 100 shekels, and at "Per Dreyer" from 50 to 150 shekels.

Business owners emphasize that their goal is not to influence political preferences but to encourage public participation in voting and celebrate democracy. They stress that the incentives are offered regardless of a customer's chosen party. With the elections just five days away, the public is encouraged to explore these deals and utilize the day off for enjoyment after exercising their democratic right.
