AI Summary
This bill seeks to establish Election Day, the first Tuesday in November of even-numbered years, as a legal holiday in Massachusetts. It amends the state's General Laws to include Election Day as a legal holiday, while specifying that this observance does not apply to public employees whose jobs are related to the operation and administration of elections.
