a Saturday or Sunday would have a much higher turnout. However, you would still be excluding a large number of lower income service workers that work on the weekend.

Has it been tested, I'm not convinced.

One group effected negatively could be parents. They may find it more difficult to vote if their kids aren't in school. Particularly single parents. (I vote after the kids go to bed - but have taken a child to the polls a couple of times - but I have a partner to stay home and make that possible).

I took my daughter to the polls this year. She had a ton of fun feeding the ballot to the optical scanner and getting a sticker

Presumably, they also work on Tuesdays, right?
