The lights do not go off in Australia on election day.

  So people don't get a day off then.

    You're being pretty pedantic. People get the "day off" on national holidays, but there are still a few essential people who are required to go to work.

      On uk national holidays it's office workers who get the day off, these are people who don't have problems with voter franchise. Even on thanksgiving there's plenty of places like McDonald's that are open, not to mention people working to set up Black Friday sales. The people who have to work on national holidays are the ones that struggle to vote normally.
