ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery and digital ordering platforms, wants to encourage everyone to vote on Nov. 8. After performing your civic duty, reward yourself with dinner while watching the results of this historic election. Democrat, Republican, Independent … the results are anyone's guess.

But one choice is far more assured – pizza wins in a landslide every election season. Historically, presidential election nights bring in double-digit order increases over the average Tuesday as Americans watch results come in from across the country.

"We know that it's not just busy newsrooms ordering pizza on election night, though they do submit some pretty impressive orders," said Joe Jordan, Domino's chief marketing officer. "While pizza isn't on any ballots, it sure seems to have the hearts and minds of many Americans on election night."

Domino's has been having some fun of its own this election season with a light-hearted, election-themed ad that features Dom – the Domino's-themed voice ordering assistant. Pizza-focused presidential predictions aren't off the table, so Dom makes his own: pizza sales will be higher than approval ratings. The ad has been airing during high-profile programming where conversations around the election are taking place, and while plans for election-night pizzas might already be underway.

No matter when Americans want to talk pizza and politics, Domino's makes ordering pizza easy. Customers can go online, use a smartphone app or one of Domino's AnyWare ordering platforms, including Twitter, text, smartwatch, Messenger, smart TV, Amazon Echo and more. Calling the store still works, too!
