I understand that it gives more people the opportunity to vote but I think that a better solution would be to hold election over one weekend. Twelve hours on Saturday and twelve hours on Sunday. If you can't fit that into your schedule, you just don't care enough.
There would have to be mail in ballots for people that are out of the country or away from their homes but those should have to be applied for and should be a minimal amount.

What is meant by "minimal amount"? Fifty thousand people "apply" but only thirty thousand get in?
There is no way to vote from out of the country unless you have "applied" for it. And what about the sick/disabled/immodbile? If they can't get to the "weekend-only" poles they can't vote?
I think the system we have now is fair and encourages more people to vote, which is a good thing all around.
We voted from out of the country. Our son and DIL vote every election from out of the country since they are living in Australia.
