They can use a responsible online platform of their choice or work with turbovote.org, a leading online service through which employees can register, receive election reminders, and obtain, if they wish to use one, a mail-in ballot. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no more important or patriotic act than voting,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Palandjian<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, who created the coalition. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always been troubled by routine low turnout in U.S. elections and wanted to find a way to have a positive effect on increasing voter participation. As a CEO, I recognize that I can help by removing barriers for my own employees and encouraging others to do the same. We can all do better, and this non-partisan effort is an important first step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joining Palandjian in <i>A Day for Democracy<\/i> are <span class=\"xn-person\">Robert Reynolds<\/span>, President and CEO of Putnam Investments; <span class=\"xn-person\">Tim Buckley<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of Vanguard Group; <span class=\"xn-person\">Ronald O&#8217;Hanley<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of State Street Corp.; <span class=\"xn-person\">Larry Bacow<\/span>, President of <span class=\"xn-org\">Harvard University<\/span>; <span class=\"xn-person\">Miceal Chamberlain<\/span>, Bank of America&#8217;s Massachusetts Market President; <span class=\"xn-person\">J.

The growing list of participants in the coalition, who together represent almost 300,000 employees to-date, can be found on the website, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2877389-1&amp;h=4238044034&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adayfordemocracy.com%2F&amp;a=www.aDayforDemocracy.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.aDayforDemocracy.com<\/a>. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has one of the lowest voter participation rates of any democracy in the world. Less than 56 percent of the U.S. voting age population cast ballots in the last presidential election, and even fewer voted during the mid-term elections in 2014. Almost every other democracy holds elections on the weekend to make it easier to vote, and many that hold them during the week designate the day as a holiday. <\/p>\n<p>This year, because of the pandemic, U.S. voters face an additional, unique set of challenges. While many states are increasing voting-by-mail opportunities to accommodate these circumstances, several specific steps are required to participate, including:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>confirming voter registration and registering if necessary; <\/li>\n<li>requesting an application to vote by mail; <\/li>\n<li>receiving, completing and submitting that application; <\/li>\n<li>receiving, completing and returning on time the ballot itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;As a nation, we have an obligation to ensure that we reduce barriers and allow every citizen the opportunity to exercise their right to vote,&#8221; said Palandjian. &#8220;In rallying the support of employers across the country, we hope this movement will continue beyond this year and will reinvigorate the civic engagement of our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More information about <i>A Day for Democracy<\/i> and the CEO pledge can be found on the website <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2877389-1&amp;h=4238044034&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adayfordemocracy.com%2F&amp;a=www.aDayforDemocracy.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.aDayforDemocracy.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the companies mentioned earlier, the list of pledge participants includes:<\/p>\n<div>\n<table id=\"convertedTableb30e\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"1\" class=\"prntblns\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Charlesbank Capital Partners<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Ford Foundation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Cambridge Savings Bank<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Suffolk Construction<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Newton-Wellesley Hospital<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Thomas H Lee Partners<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Bob&#8217;s Discount Furniture<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Cambridge Trust Company<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen2\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Murphy &amp;
