Where I live in the US, everyone with any DMV interaction is automatically registered to vote, and receives a ballot in the mail a few weeks before election day with a nonpartisan voters handbook that explains issues, allows candidates to give written statements, and allows anyone to publish a for/against argument for the cost of printing – about $100.
We sit at the dining room table, do research, and vote gradually over the course of 7-10 days. Ballots can then be mailed in (with a signature-bearing outer envelope that's stripped away before votes are counted), or dropped off at a library or designated polling place all the way up until election day.
Having to take time off of work and physically go to a polling place with a handful of notes is insane to me.
