Voters need an opportunity to vote. If they have to work a full day, pick up kids, make dinner, help with homework, voting goes on the back burner. Make Election Day a holiday. Or at least incentivize employers to allow employees time off early to vote. You could even allow employers to require proof of voting in order to pay the employee for the time off.
