Election Day Act

# Election Day Act (HR 154) Summary **What It Would Do** This bill would make Election Day a federal holiday. If passed, this means that November election days would become official holidays, similar to Independence Day or Thanksgiving. The practical effect would likely include giving federal employees the day off and potentially closing federal offices. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly affect federal employees and federal offices.

Indirectly, it could impact voters by potentially making it easier for people to vote if they have the day off work, though the bill doesn't explicitly mandate private employers to close or give employees time off to vote. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA).
