Major firm offers FREE parking for General Election voters – with millions set to drive to polling stations
A MAJOR parking operator is offering voters across the country free permits tomorrow as millions are set to drive to the polls.
Drivers will be able to decide the nation’s future without fear of a ticket – but you have to act now to access the discount.
JustPark boasts hundreds of thousands of bays spread over a whopping 45,000 UK locations.
These can be booked out at the press of a button via the company’s app.
However, a survey by the firm found that more than a quarter of Brits are planning to use their motors to make their way to polling stations during tomorrow’s election.
As such, bosses have made the call to offer 30 minutes of free parking to all users to give them peace of mind while they vote.
JustPark hopes the policy will help drive better turnout, especially among people with mobility issues or other access requirements.

However, you will have to pre-book in order to benefit from the exemption before heading out to vote so it’s best to do so today.
Once you’ve booked, you will have 30 minutes from the time you enter the car park to go and vote and return to your car.
Mary Corrie, Managing Director of JustPark, UK, said: “Here at JustPark, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to vote, but know that on the day it isn’t always that straightforward.
“By offering free parking on Election Day, we hope to make it easier for all voters, especially those with mobility issues or who are short on time, to find a place to park near their polling station.
“This is the second time we have offered this service, following its great success in the 2019 election, and we are confident it will help to get people to the polls once again.”
It comes after motoring organisations slammed the new private parking Code of Practice, with fines set to double within months.
