Voter turnout in local and national elections have, historically, had disappointingly low turnouts. This reflects poorly on our republic. Many are unable or unwilling to go to the polls on Election Day because, Election Day being on a Tuesday, they have to go to work and are generally not allowed to miss work for the purpose of participating in an election. Therefore, We the People of the United States of America request that this vitally important day in our country's democratic process be made a federal holiday, so that workers are given the day off and have more freedom to go to the polls and cast their vote. Thank you for your consideration of this issue.
