This Election Day, Kansas City metro voters can get a free ride to the polls, including with the new IRIS on-demand service.

Free ways to get to the polls include:

- RideKC Buses: Bus service is free in the metro with many routes near polling places.
- Bird Scooters: Rent a Bird Scooter using the promo code ROCKTHEVOTE2024
- RideKC Bike: Rent a bike with RideKC Bike and use the promo code in the app for free ride credits
For help planning your RideKC bus ride to the polls, use the RideKC trip planner. To use IRIS, bird scooters, or RideKC Bike, search the app store on your mobile device.
To find your polling place and check your voter status, Kansas City residents in Jackson County can visit the Kansas City Election Board. For other locations in Missouri, start with the Secretary of State’s office.
