Many individuals are not able to vote due to their workplace obligations, or may be dissuaded from voting should they have a night shift scheduled during Election Day and need to rest during the daytime.

We call upon the administration to make Election Day an official federal holiday in hopes of increasing voter turnout and allowing anyone who wishes to participate in the democratic process to be able to do so.
