The U.S. remains one of the few democracies that votes on a Tuesday without a holiday, a relic of an agrarian past that critics say suppresses working-class turnout. Proponents argue a holiday is a vital signal that civic duty comes first, ensuring no one chooses between a paycheck and a ballot. Opponents dismiss it as a costly performative gesture that benefits white-collar workers while ignoring that mail-in ballots already solved the convenience problem.
