> Quick view: polling day in the Melaka state election is Saturday 14 November 2026, and five brands have posted offers for voters. The best value is Ripley's in Dataran Pahlawan at RM10 a ticket, against RM28 to RM48 normally. Krispy Kreme's RM2 doughnut is the only one that works outside Melaka. Manhattan FISH MARKET's 1-for-1 platters at Mahkota Parade are the only deal that runs all weekend, and on Friday you do not need to have voted at all.
We read every offer below on the brand's own Instagram or Facebook post on 13 November 2026. Several other "election day" deals are circulating on aggregator sites, but we left out any we could not confirm on the brand's own channel. If you still need to check where you vote, see our Melaka state election voter guide. Your MyKad address decides it, so many people who live in KL or Johor are driving back this weekend.
The five offers
1. Ripley's Believe It or Not! Interactive Museum: RM10 per ticket (14 Nov only). The new museum at Lot G-080, Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall, posted that voters who show their inked finger get tickets for RM10 each on 14 November. The museum's own ticketing page lists the normal price as RM48 for adults and children, with Malaysian rates of RM28 (MyKad adult) and RM18 (MyKid child aged 4 to 12, OKU and senior citizens). The campaign poster says "RM10 per ticket", T&Cs apply.
2. Krispy Kreme: one Original Glazed for RM2 (14 Nov only). Krispy Kreme Malaysia's post says to show your blue-inked finger at any Krispy Kreme outlet in Malaysia. It is one doughnut per inked finger, while stocks last. The outlets Krispy Kreme names in its recent posts are mostly in the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor and Kedah, so this one suits voters heading home after polling.
3. Coolblog: buy 1 free 1 on any drink (14 Nov only). Coolblog Malaysia's post covers all drinks in any size at selected Coolblog outlets in Melaka. It is walk-in only (not the app or delivery), and you pay for the higher-priced drink while the cheaper one is free.
4. The Manhattan FISH MARKET Mahkota Parade: buy 1 free 1 on all Single Platters (13 to 15 Nov). Only at the Manhattan FISH MARKET outlet in Mahkota Parade. On Friday 13 November you just give a thumbs up at the counter when you order. On Saturday and Sunday you show your inked finger. The poster features The Manhattan Flaming Prawns, Small Grill, Small Flame and Scallop Fish Chicken.
5. Kopi Saigon: 2 drinks for RM7.90 (14 Nov only). Kopi Saigon's post covers all Kopi Saigon outlets in Melaka. Unlike the others, the post does not ask for an inked finger.
Worked examples
- A couple who both voted, at Ripley's: 2 x RM10 = RM20, against 2 x RM28 = RM56 at the MyKad rate. That saves RM36, or RM76 against the RM48 walk-up price.
- Two voting parents and two kids aged 4 to 12: the post does not say whether a child without an inked finger also gets RM10. If the kids pay the MyKid rate, the family pays 2 x RM10 + 2 x RM18 = RM56, against RM92 at normal local rates. If RM10 applies to the whole group, it is RM40. Ask at the counter.
- Coolblog for two: a Pistachio Choc Chip Frappe (RM14.90 on Coolblog's own post) plus any cheaper drink costs RM14.90 for both.
- Kopi Saigon for two: RM7.90 for the pair, about RM3.95 a cup.
- Manhattan FISH MARKET: two Single Platters for the price of one, plus 10% service charge. The poster says prices include 6% service tax.
Who these are good for
Good for: Melaka voters spending the day in town, families who want an indoor stop after queueing at the polling centre (Ripley's and Mahkota Parade are both in the Bandar Hilir mall cluster, a short walk apart), and outstation voters who will pass a Krispy Kreme on the drive back.
Skip if: you did not vote (only Kopi Saigon and the Friday Manhattan deal are open to everyone), or you plan to order Coolblog or Manhattan on a delivery app. Neither post covers delivery.
Fine print that trips people up
- One day means one day. Ripley's, Krispy Kreme, Coolblog and Kopi Saigon are 14 November only. Ink lasts several days, but the offers do not.
- "Selected outlets" for Coolblog. Not every Melaka Coolblog takes part, so check with the outlet first.
- Manhattan FISH MARKET is one outlet only. Mahkota Parade, not Manhattan's other branches. It is not valid with ongoing promotions, discounts, other offers or vouchers.
- While stocks last. Krispy Kreme's post says so, and the other brands may run out of platters or ingredients on a busy Saturday. Go early in the day.
- Early voters. Police and military voters cast their ballots on 10 November. Their ink may have faded by Saturday, and none of the posts say what happens then.
