> low voter turnout Why voting day isn't a federal holiday is baffling to me. Along with all the weird-ass rules about "registering to vote" and people having to queue for hours in the heat and nobody is allowed to even give them water. I usually vote a few weeks in advance while grocery shopping, there's a booth set up at the supermarket. I can just walk in with my ID, vote and the vote is sealed in a box until the official day. Or I can walk like 1km to the nearest school, again show my ID, vote and go home. If I had to "register to vote", I'd most likely forget it or not bother to do it.
