In America you now have to own a passport which most doesn’t, be a member of a party, which 90mil eligible voters aren’t, and hope that your boss has the same political views as you, so he lets you off work to go vote.
There are only 160mil valid passports in America right now.
You are right though that you can be a registrerede voter with no party affiliation, but there are still 50mil eligible voters that haven’t registrered.
And do you deny that a lot of Americans have a hard time getting off of work to go vote? That making election day a national holiday would not easily make a lot more people participate in the countrys democracy?
I would argue that having an early voting period spanning over several days is more effective than a single national holiday to enable more people to participate. As of August 2024, 47 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, offer early in-person voting to all voters.
