The fundamental right for all US Citizens over the age of 18 to elect our government representatives is granted to us pursuant to Art.1 Sec.2 and the 15th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 24th, and 26th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America. Worldwide data collected on the subject supports that foreign countries who hold their national elections on a non-work day experience voter turnout in excess of 24% more then the United States typically realizes in any given national election. Since the United States legislature has failed to pass such legislation, the Administration should propose a new constitutional amendment declaring a national holiday for Election Day , which would dramatically increase access to the polls and encourage participation in this essential act of freedom.
