Our biggest issue as a country is the lack of voter participation. Only less than half of the eligible voters actually vote.

It's insane how difficult it is to vote in the US. Imagine if the election was a public holiday. Turnout would be so different.

We recently had a State Election in Western Australia, there was three voting centres within a 5 minute walk from my house. When I got there, there was 4 people in the line ahead of me

I'm in Estonia and we have digital voting (in addition the voting booths). So it took me 2 min on the computer and done.

I also don't get the having to registrate to be able to vote. If you're a citizen of X town why isn't it just possible to vote? It's how it works here. Everybody is registered as a citizen in some city and is voting according to that.
