Make it that you can vote almost anywhere. If you don't have to run to a specific polling station there is more of a chance you will vote. The vote goes to the people not the people going to the vote.
Setup polls in workplaces, university campus, hospitals, shopping malls, maybe even Timmies. Even in another city or province if it's a national election. Voting online would also be possible. Using a computer, ipad or even a smartphone.
Although people don't like the idea of carrying a voter id card we do carry all sorts of id with us. If you could scan that id into a national database of voters, system indicates you are eligible to vote and prints off a ballot. Or your specific ballot appears electronically on a voting device. That voting device could even be a tablet. Which would probably be more efficient. At the end of the election their is an electronic tally.
We are advanced enough with technology to make this possible. Someone just needs to develop such a system and sell the idea to the government and the voting public.
