Make Election Day a National Holiday.

Created by M.W. on January 24, 2013

As President Obama mentioned voting rights in both his 2012 victory speech and his 2nd inaugural address, we petition that the Obama administration push to make election day a national holiday. Many Americans find it difficult to get time off work to make it to the polls, especially with long lines, effectively disenfranchising them. A first step to rectify this problem is to make election day a national holiday.
