Make voting mandatory for all US citizens of legal voting age (unless convicted of voter fraud).
To accommodate increased voting volume, institute a policy as follows:
- at 4 weeks prior to the official election day, allow absentee ballots
- at 2 weeks prior to the official election day, open enough polling locations so that each eligible voter is no more than 7 miles from an available polling location. Proposed Schedule: Noon - 9:00 PM seven days per week.
- During the 3 days prior to the official election day, open the traditional polling locations. Proposed Schedule: 6AM to 11PM.
- The number of staff and functioning polling machines at each polling location will be directly proportional to the population in that particular voting region.
Such a policy would create a true democracy.
