Tell HN: Election day and still working

I moved back to an area close where I grew up, it is a very 'right' area. I knew this and I am often an outsider in my thoughts, what I learned today was that all of my peers have 'off' on election day to vote. I am stuck working almost the entire day.

does anyone know of a way to begin pushing for having off on election day in order to make voting easier?
