State holidays, adding Election Day as a state holiday
This bill would add Election Day to Alabama's list of official state holidays, defined as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November during years with presidential or gubernatorial elections. It would require all state offices, schools, and banks to close on this day, affecting state employees and government operations. The change would take effect October 1, 2025, if passed, aligning Alabama with other states that observe Election Day as a holiday. The bill simply adds this date to the existing holiday schedule without altering how holidays are observed.
