Election Day should be a national holiday to give folks a chance to vote.

Pay for postage for mail-in voters.

No postage needed in California, nor Massachusetts if I recall correctly. Does your state really make you find a stamp to vote in 2024? That sucks, sorry to hear that.

I have to ship it internationally

I mean, at least put it on the weekend, like other countries (or at least mine).

Allow early in-person voting centres and postal votes. Make it convenient.

Though, maybe these are only widespread in mandatory voting counties (like mine), because you'd get massive complaints if it wasn't convenient.

Turnout is unsurprisingly, very high here.

Who would run the polling stations and run public transit?

[–] JimmyMcGill 10 points 6 months ago

You don’t have public transit on national holidays and Sundays? Next you are going to ask who is going to work in hospitals and restaurants

Those deemed necessary could be given a day off to early vote.
