VIDEO:  What is WHY TUESDAY?
 
 
Why Tuesday? is a nonpartisan effort to increase voter participation by encouraging a national debate about election reform. In the United States, the world's most famous democracy, the problem of the vanishing voter is so acute that we lag behind nearly every nation on Earth in voter turnout. The question "why do we vote on Tuesday?" spurs important questions about weaknesses in our democracy and Why Tuesday? is dedicated to addressing them.

Let's vote on Halloween! Imagine seeing lines of zombies, vampires, witches and devils outside the polls. I'd love to get a piece of candy after I vote. Trick or Treat!

Why Tuesday? Well, why not a whole week, and why not online or from Cell phones?

The reason is, the people who are in power don't want to change the system that got them that power. Let's see if we can change that!
