Election Day Act
The Election Day Act (HR 6267) would designate "Election Day" as a federal holiday by adding it to the list of designated holidays in U.S. Code (Title 5, Section 6103). This would require federal offices to close and provide federal employees a day off on Election Day, the established date for federal elections (the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November). The bill amends the existing holiday list to insert "Election Day" after "Columbus Day." It does not change the election date but formalizes it as a federal holiday for government operations.
