Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Election Day in the United States is on a Tuesday, which may actually discourage voter turnout as many people are working and may not have the flexibility to take time off to vote. Other democracies, such as Australia and Belgium, hold elections on weekends, which has been shown to increase voter participation.
