In reply to the discussion: California bill would make Election Day a state holiday [View all]Doreen
(11,686 posts)6. Well, If people have the day off they could set up
huge voting parties. Snacks and prizes for both adults and kids. Bring your ballots here and fill them out and put them in the voting box and enjoy. People usually enjoy parties and if widely advertised ahead of time that might work. Make it very clear that it is not meant for one candidate or another because it is just a voting party. Just a thought.

Exactly! Fairs and live shows and food festivals. Let's make voting an event. I like it.
