TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Voters who have thought of fleeing to another country if their candidate loses may be in luck. 

A new program by JetBlue airlines is offering these individuals a chance to do just that. Dubbed "Election Protection," the program gives those who end up unhappy with the results of the election a chance to leave the United States for free.

More than one thousand people will be eligible for a free round-trip ticket to one of more than a dozen countries.

Participating in the program is simple. First, pick a favored candidate on JetBlue's website before election day. Participants have to be on the losing side to be entered into the sweepstakes to win.
