It doesn’t, really. It just needs to be easier to vote, and for a longer period of time. Here in Sweden it’s not a national holiday, but you can vote up to like a month in advance all over the place and it takes like 5 minutes if you do that. You can stop by on your way home from work or to the grocery store no problem, or on your lunch break. If you go on election day it might take you up to 30 minutes if there’s a line.
@Plopp@HootinNHollerin same in 'Straya. And on election day there’s a BBQ of course, with snags* for $3 or so, to the benefit of the local school parents association.

*snag: 'Strayan sausage, with onions on top
Election day BBQ?! I can’t believe I live in such a shithole country.

BBQ and cake?!
That sounds dangerous. You should hand those over immediately, for your safety. 🫴
Then poor people would have 1 more holiday to work.
