Editor,
I think voting on the weekends is a great idea. There would be more voter participation or turnout. For people working in the San Jose area, it has always been difficult to go to the voting locations with the time restrictions. The polls do not open early enough or stay open later for the commuting voters.
I would take the issue one step further. It has been difficult for me to go to the voting places assigned. I am disabled. I vote by absentee ballot. I think there would be a greater turnout if the whole system went to mail-in ballots. That would take the stress out of voting and give the people more time to read the voter pamphlets and make the decision of how they want to vote. In addition it would save taxpayer’s money for manpower to staff the polls.
