It was more beneficial from a number of perspectives. One was in terms of access to election workers, especially in a pandemic, when many older workers who typically are the election workers are in an at-risk category. It allowed us to recruit younger workers and workers who were able to work on a Saturday because it was a weekend for them.
It also allowed us access to other locations that were not necessarily available during a weekday. Particularly in relation to the pandemic, it enabled us to use schools as voting places on the Saturday and Sunday of the advance voting period, as well as on voting day, in a way that enabled us to integrate our safe voting place plans with the safe schools plans and keep the school communities closed when students were in place. By having voting on weekends, we were able to use those facilities.
