Make the day of General Elections a Bank Holiday

Additional Information

With turnout at General Elections in recent years the lowest it has been since the First World War, we petition the Government to do more to make a General Election an occasion where people feel their vote will matter. Making the day of a General Election a Bank Holiday will give the public more flexibility and little excuse not to vote. A General Election only takes place every 4-5 years and it is important that the government makes every allowance for people to vote.
