Election day: National Holiday

Make election day a national holiday to help foster more voting.

Why is this important?

We as a nation have tried to sell the world on democracy, yet we have less than 60% of eligible voters turn out to vote on any given election. Many people are unable to vote because they have to work during the polls being open. Making this day a national holiday would make voting more accessible to many of our working class.
