Election Day Holiday Act of 2024
HR 7329, the Election Day Holiday Act of 2024, would designate November 5, 2024 (and subsequent general elections) as a federal public holiday. This change would require federal offices to close and provide federal employees a paid day off on Election Day. The bill amends Title 5 of the U.S. Code to add "Election Day" to the list of designated federal holidays, following Columbus Day. This directly affects federal employees and operations, ensuring they have a day off during general elections.
