The resolution urges Congress to designate Election Day, which falls on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, as a federal holiday in the United States. It emphasizes the importance of voting as a fundamental democratic right and highlights that many eligible voters do not participate in elections due to scheduling conflicts. By making Election Day a federal holiday, the resolution aims to increase voter turnout by providing greater flexibility for citizens to cast their votes without the constraints of work or school commitments.

Additionally, the resolution points out that several states and territories, including New Jersey and Puerto Rico, have already recognized Election Day as a holiday to promote civic engagement. It draws comparisons to other countries with higher voter turnout rates due to their election scheduling practices, suggesting that a federal holiday would help streamline the voting process and make elections more representative of the population. Ultimately, the resolution calls for Congress to take action to honor the democratic process and encourage greater participation in elections.
