Danish brewer Carlsberg is handing our free beers today in a bid to get the nation voting.

The Carlsberg Battle Bus will be pulling up across the capital on Wednesday 11 December to deliver free pilsner pints to all.

"This week’s General Election is one of the biggest events for our country in 2019 and tension is high," Carlsberg brand manager, Sam Johnson, said.

"In times of uncertainty, the British public need an election pledge they can believe in and our campaign promise of ‘Better beer for Britain’ through our new Danish Pilsner is definitely something the public can get behind."

However, if you miss out, you may be able to pick up a free pint at your local pub instead.

Brewdog's Vote Punk bus - which first appeared during the 2016 EU referendum campaign - is back and travelling the country with free pints for everyone that votes.

To receive your free pint, you'll have to take a selfie outside the polling station which you can show at the till at your local BrewDog UK Bar .

The offer will be running on election day itself for those who vote in person.

Those who voted by post can show their registration confirmation email at the bar on December 12 to qualify.

You'll be able to choose from four different beers: Punk IPA, their flagship IPA, Punk AF, BrewDog’s new alcohol free IPA, Nanny State alcohol free hoppy ale, or Vagabond gluten free American pale ale.

"We want to reward anyone voting in the General Election with a Punk IPA on us. Whatever your views, whatever your status, every vote was created equal," said James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog.

"We’re not affiliated with any political party, we don’t care who you vote for but we would like to buy you a beer. Whatever is next for our country, drinking great craft beer might just get us through it."

On Friday, December 13, the nation will wake up to a new Government, and now is your chance to have your say.

Voters can can get on top of all of the election coverage on our page here - including polls, predictions and more.

But even if you've missed out - it's still worth making sure you're on the electoral roll - as it could make you richer.

Registering to vote instantly boosts your credit score - a factor lenders look at when deciding whether to lend you money for a loan or mortgage.

It is seen as a sign of stability by banks and can therefore mean you get better access to better rates on loans and mortgages - and can even help with things such as taking out a mobile contract.
