Abstract

The article discusses the importance of increasing voter engagement in the United States by addressing historical barriers to voting and proposing solutions to improve voter turnout. It highlights the impact of initiatives such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, and the Help America Vote Act in expanding voter registration and accessibility. The article suggests strategies like voting by mail and changing Election Day to weekends or a national holiday to enhance civic engagement and ensure marginalized communities have equal access to the voting process.
