Make presidential and midterm elections a federal holiday in order to encourage higher voter participation.

Created by A.M. on May 10, 2015

We ask that election day be declared a federal holiday. This would free up millions of peoples day to get to the polls as well as help remind people in private companies who were not given the day off that it is election day. As a country we need to take steps to improve our abysmal voter turnout record, and this seems a very logical first step.
