Bill > SR90

This Resolution urges the United States Congress and the President to amend the federal "Uniform Time Act of 1966" to extend daylight saving time until after the general election, which is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The resolution argues that ending daylight saving time in early November causes darkness to fall an hour earlier on election day, potentially discouraging voters who are concerned about safety or reluctant to travel after dark, and that extending daylight saving time would provide an additional hour of daylight in the evening, thereby encouraging greater voter participation.
