Why Companies Should Encourage Employees to Vote

Business has a political responsibility to encourage employees to vote. Despite the fact that the United States is the largest, most powerful and longest continuously existing democracy in the world, many Americans do not vote. In 2016, only 60% of eligible voters cast ballots, even in a divisive year with a presidential election at the top of the ticket. In the last midterm election in 2014, turnout was even worse. Only 37% of eligible citizens voted.
