It’s time for the midterms — Election Day is Tuesday, November 8th, in case you missed all the texts, ads and announcements — and while you should get out there and vote regardless, there are some Philly-area businesses looking to sweeten (literally) the deal. Whether you’re hoping to distract yourself from the serious stakes with a themed cupcake or get some mileage out of your “I Voted” sticker, here’s where to go.

In addition to the election, Night Kitchen has a (fun, lower-stakes) poll of their own. Since the beginning of October, the Chestnut Hill bakery has been selling iced vanilla-shortbread cookies with the names of the candidates from Pennsylvania’s two biggest elections this cycle, and it’s all for a good cause. Cast your “vote” for governor by purchasing Shapiro or Mastriano cookies; or pick a senator with Fetterman or Oz ones. Profits will be donated to Indivisible, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated protecting our right to free, fair, and fully informed elections.
