Voter turnout in the last presidential election was 60 percent. Compared to other Western nations, such as the UK (66 percent) or Norway (77 percent), this is abysmal.

We petition the Obama administration to incentivize voting, which will promote democracy and reflect the spirit of "government for the people".
