2 days to vote in election, Tories propose
In an effort to bolster voter turnout, Stephen Harper’s Tory government tabled a bill on Wednesday to extend the amount of time Canadians have to vote in a federal election.
The bill proposes to stretch voting day to two days, meaning all polls would be open the Sunday before the usual Monday election day.
It also provides for four continuous days of advance polling over the second last weekend of an election campaign.

I suppose it’ll help a little bit, or give us that much more time to procrastinate. I like the idea of getting two votes better: one vote for our representative and one vote for the party I support.
I suppose a little movement is better than none.
