According the U.S. Census Bureau's survey on voting and registration, out of the approximate 206,072,000 citizens eligible to vote, only 131,144,000 (64%) of people actually did. Of the people who did not vote, 17.5% were too busy, 13.4% were not interested, and 2.6% forgot. If voting day were a national/federal holiday, it would help solve some of these problems by freeing up potential voter's time and making voting more relevant to the general public.
