Voting in the
U.S. takes place on a Tuesday. This is the day citizens vote for
the president, as well as a number of senators, House representatives
and other public officials. Yet, this important day of voting falls
on a workday, and as a result, there are many Americans who are
unable to leave work to vote. Many other democracies that have very
high voter turnout rates designate a national holiday for voting
or allow citizens to vote on weekends. In the U.S., the difficulty
of registering to vote, coupled with the fact that voting is done
on a workday, discourages many people from voting. To increase voter
turnout, the U.S. government should do the same as its western counterparts
and give people a holiday on which they can vote at leisure.
