Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Because the most common reason for not voting is "too busy," you can theorize that rescheduling Election Day to a day when many people are not at work may improve the voting rate. Choices b and c may also be help increase voter turnout, but fewer people cite forgetfulness and transportation problems as a reason for not voting.
