Election Day should be a national holiday to give folks a chance to vote.

Pay for postage for mail-in voters.

I mean, at least put it on the weekend, like other countries (or at least mine).

Allow early in-person voting centres and postal votes. Make it convenient.

Though, maybe these are only widespread in mandatory voting counties (like mine), because you'd get massive complaints if it wasn't convenient.

Turnout is unsurprisingly, very high here.

Who would run the polling stations and run public transit?

You don’t have public transit on national holidays and Sundays? Next you are going to ask who is going to work in hospitals and restaurants

Those deemed necessary could be given a day off to early vote.
