Election Day Act
Maddy summaryThis bill amends federal law to establish "Election Day" as an official federal holiday, adding it to the list of recognized holidays for federal employees. It directly affects federal workers by designating Election Day (the Tuesday following the first Monday in November) as a day when federal offices close. The key mechanism is a simple insertion into the existing list of federal holidays under Title 5 of the U.S. Code. This change does not alter voting procedures or create new voting requirements.
