AeroFS Joins With Tech Companies to Make Election Day A Holiday

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With one of the lowest voter turnouts of any country, the U.S. is
considered a laggard in getting its citizens into the voting booth on
election day. Based on the estimated voting-age population, the U.S.
ranks 31st out of 35 countries that comprise the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [1]. One proposal to improve
that statistic is to declare election day a national holiday. Because
that would require an act of Congress, it’s unlikely to happen for
several election cycles. In the meantime, a group of tech entrepreneurs
is moving ahead to encourage their employees to vote by making November
8 a company holiday.

One of those entrepreneurs is Yuri Sagalov, co-founder and CEO of
collaboration software startup AeroFS/Amium, based in Palo Alto. Yuri’s
blog posting about this issue can be found at tinyurl.com/z27mw37.
