Bill Summary
A BILL To treat the Tuesday next after the first Monday in Novem- ber in the same manner as any legal public holiday for purposes of Federal employment, and for other pur- poses.
AI Summary
This bill, the Election Day Holiday Act of 2021, would treat the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in even-numbered years (when federal elections are held) as a legal public holiday for purposes of federal employment. This means that federal employees would have the day off work on election day to enable them to vote. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that private employers should give their employees the day off on election day as well, to allow them to participate in the electoral process.
