MANHATTAN — If voting in Tuesday's election isn't enough to satisfy New Yorkers, an adult store is offering civic-minded Manhattanites a little something extra for pulling the lever.

Babeland, the female-friendly sex shop that has locations in SoHo and the Lower East Side, is giving away free vibrators to anyone who hits the polls on Election Day.

All voters have to do is visit one of the downtown stores — or enter a special promotional code for online buyers — and they'll receive Babeland's signature "Silver Bullet" vibrator free with any purchase.

"Whether you think we need to Restore the Sanity or Restore America, get out and vote," says a note on the store's website. "We'd all like a magic silver bullet to create jobs, fix the economy, and ensure access to affordable healthcare, but it's not going to happen if we don't participate."

Babeland's two Manhattan locations are at 43 Mercer St. and 94 Rivington St., as well as a third in Brooklyn.
