Go vote if you haven't already, and then head to your nearest Starbucks and/or Ben and Jerry's.

Starbucks is offering a free tall cup of coffee to voters, and Ben and Jerry's says it will hand out a free scoop of ice cream to voters between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. local time, depending on where you live.

In addition, participating Krispy Kreme stores will offer customers sporting an "I Voted" sticker a free "star-shaped donut with patriotic sprinkles."

Here's one of the best local offerings I found:

If you live in Chicago, the Eli's Cheesecake Company of Chicago says it "will reward voters with a free slice of Chicago's favorite dessert, simply by presenting their voting receipt at Eli's Cheesecake World, 6701 W. Forest Preserve Drive, from Tuesday, Nov. 4 through Friday, Nov. 7 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m."

And "if you don't live in the Chicago area, go online to http://www.elicheesecake.com, click on 'I voted in the 2008 election,' and receive a free 6-inch Original Plain Cheesecake with the purchase of one Eli's 9-inch Original Plain or Chocolate Chip Cheesecake."

I know where I'm going online shopping.
