How should we increase the voter turnout?

How should we try to increase the voter turn out in United States of America? Well, I believe there are so many things that could be done in order to increase the voter turnout. First of all, do we even need to increase the voter turn out or not? I think so; the voter turn out in 2012 was lower than the ones in 2008 and 2004.

The very first change I would recommend would be making the Election Day a national or federal holiday. There are a lot of people who are not able to cast a vote because of the reason that they have school, college, work or some other work-related duties. This will give students a chance to go vote without having to worry about missing their classes neither would workers would have to miss their work. Another change that would be really beneficial is education, specifically when it's the voting time. So many people think their votes do not matter. Of course it does. We have a democracy system and this is all about choosing whom you think would best represent you and run the country better. There are a lot of other factors that I would recommend such as providing free snacks and drinks at that event and providing free day care on the Election Day to the voters. Last but not least provide different languages interpreters teaching them how to vote, what to do and also the education should be given in more than just English and Spanish, since America is such a diverse nation. 

I believe that by making these changes, we can absolutely have an increase in voter turn out in future. The increase in voter turn out participation is extremely needed, in order to have a government system as we desire.
