    How about Sunday?

    Hold elections on Sundays? Here's a list of countries in Europe that do so:

    Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden

    A simple web search also revealed South American and African countries hold elections on Sundays.

    Oh, and last Sunday's election in France? The New York Times reported 85% voter turn out.

    Seems to me to be the best alternative.
