By Jennifer McRae, CBS Denver:

RTD is offering free rides on Friday, the first of two free days to encourage people to drop off their ballot or cast their vote in next month's election. The free days are National Vote Early Day on Friday and Election Day on Nov. 8.

The partnership is designed to encourage voter participation in the election and is viewed as a way to break down barriers for those who may not vote due to access to transportation due to voting locations.
