Mandate Election Day as a Federal Holiday to ensure every voter has the opportunity to cast their vote.
Why is this important?
Each State in our Union currently sets their own voting policies and procedures and most of them attempt to make access to the polls easier for voters. Since election day is always on a Tuesday, the policy of early voting attempted to aid those unable to get to the polls during normal working hours. Recently, there have been efforts to curtail access to the polls, to make it harder and harder to cast a vote.. This petition would help every voter who works for a living.
