In the on going Indian elections where 330 million people are eligible to vote, those looking for a good deal need look no further than their neighborhood polling station- Malls, petrol pumps, and movie theaters in Indian cities have been jostling to provide goodies for those that vote in the Indian elections. Those with a little black ink on their finger are eligible for discounts on petrol and diesel, free popcorn at theaters, discount vouchers and upgrades on their airfare tickets. Car service Uber Delhi is offering free credits to voters and a chance to win a car ride to the polling station and back. These discount schemes are expected to attract 18yr olds who are eligible to vote for the first time.With 120 million first time voters predicted in the ongoing elections.
