Why does voting day need to be a holiday if you can mail it in

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

To reduce barriers to voting.

And to make it more fun and increase involvement. It should be a huge celebration — not something that feels like doing your taxes.

How is it being a holiday or not a barrier if you can just mail it?

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Because some people will struggle to mail it in, and voting in person is easier for those people.
