In Australia, schools are often used as polling stations. Schools generally have parent volunteer groups who try to raise money for the school, and those parent volunteer groups use election day as an opportunity to sell food (traditionally, sausages) to the voters in order to raise funds. The sale of food is an entirely non-partisan thing.

If a partisan group started giving voters free food or beverages at a polling place, that would be illegal.

Election sausages are by far my favorite fun fact about voting in Australia

That sounds more reasonable to me than interest groups going to the polls giving out freebies
