Step 2 is out it is in most countries in Europe. But honestly I like how it is in the UK. You vote on a Thursday and people have legally mandated time off during that day to go vote.
I feel like a lot of people would definitely vote if it gave them paid time off from their work.
If you move to a weekend then it comes off their free time and they might be away etc

Also free and no hurdles mail voting.
Where do you get the legal time off thing? afaik that’s not a UK law - they would tell you to vote by post if you’re going to be at work all day.
What does help is that polling stations are everywhere - I’ve never had to walk more than a few hundred metres to vote, nor had to wait.
