7-election-cupsIn recognition of this year’s Presidential Debates, 7-Eleven customers can purchase a 7-Election coffee for just $1 the day after each debate.

With the approach of the 2016 Presidential Debates, 7-Eleven has announced a new promotion as a part of the 7-Election. 7-Eleven is now offering fresh-brewed coffee in its extra-large 7-Election Stay-Hot Cups for just $1 the day after each of the three Presidential Debates.

The first Dollar Coffee Day was Tuesday, Sept. 27, after the first debate. The promotions run all day at participating U.S. 7-Eleven stores. Coffee-quaffing voters simply need to download the 7-Eleven mobile app, select one of the three 7-Election Presidential coffee cups, fill it to the brim and scan the app for the dollar deal. The limited-time offer is available at participating locations. Pricing may vary by store. Tax where applicable.

“Democracy is brewing at 7-Eleven, one cup of coffee at a time,” said Laura Gordon, 7-Eleven vice president of marketing and brand innovation. “After watching the informative debates, we encourage every American to come in the next day to choose their favorite party in exchange for a great deal on coffee.”

2016 marks the fifth quadrennial 7-Election Presidential Coffee Cup Poll. The campaign invites 7-Eleven customers to “cast their cups” by purchasing coffee in specially marked 7-Election Stay Hot Coffee cups – blue Democrat, red Republican and, new this year, a nonpartisan, purple Speak Up cup. Even on ordinary days, the cups are value priced at or between the regular retail prices of medium and large 7-Eleven hot beverage cups.

“We think $1 coffee is an All-American perk that cuts across party lines,” Gordon added.

Coffee lovers can “vote” through Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, simply by purchasing coffee in a 7-Election cup. Each post-debate vote will count toward the ongoing 7-Election campaign totals. In each of the previous 7-Election polls, a staggering six million cups (ballots) were cast, and results in each accurately predicted those in the “real” elections.
