The bill amends Section 12-5-2 of the New Mexico Statutes to designate the first Tuesday in November as a public holiday known as the "State Holiday to Vote." This addition aims to encourage voter participation by ensuring that citizens have a designated day off to engage in the electoral process.

In addition to the new holiday, the bill also makes several deletions and insertions to the existing list of legal public holidays. Specifically, the previous designation for Armistice Day and Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day has been updated to reflect the new structure of the holiday list, with the new voting holiday inserted as item H and the subsequent holidays renumbered accordingly.
