EU Referendum should be held on a Sunday that is not during the summer holidays.

Petition Details

In order to maximize turnout on a matter of such huge significance, the EU Referendum should take place before or after the traditional UK summer holiday period and either be held on a Sunday or be declared a public holiday.

Additional Information

Election Day in the UK is by tradition a Thursday, but many people will not vote on a Thursday simply due to being tired after a hard days work, this tradition arose due to several circumstances: the belief that Friday pay-packets would lead to more drunken voters on Fridays and Saturdays; having the election as far after a Sunday as possible would reduce the influence of Sunday sermons, largely irrelevant now due to falling Church attendance numbers.
