Some Think Election Day Should Be A National Holiday
- 6 years ago
According to Business Insider, Election Day isn't a national holiday in the US, but some people think it should be.
US voter turnout trails most developed countries. During the 2016 presidential election, less than 56% of the estimated voting-age population in the US voted.
It would take an act of Congress to make Election Day a national holiday, and there is currently a bill proposing to designate "Democracy Day" as a national election holiday before a special committee.
