Sunday Voting is Fair Voting
Voting on Sundays rather than Thursdays is much fairer on busy young voters and might prevent older people having a disproportionate influence on the outcome.
Why is this important?
Voting on Thursdays as opposed to Sundays is great for old retired folk with little to do, but is clearly not great for busy young people probably working on zero hours contracts and with children to take to, and collect from, school.
About 50 other countries use Sunday. Just one other country uses Thursday. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_day
If 2% of the electorate cannot vote it can change the result of a referendum.
Sunday Voting is Fair Voting.
