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 "State Holiday to Vote." This addition aims to encourage voter participation by providing a legal holiday on election day.

In the revised list of legal public holidays, the new insertion for the "State Holiday to Vote" is included as item H, while the previous items H, I, J, and K have been renumbered accordingly. The bill reflects a commitment to enhancing civic engagement by ensuring that citizens have the opportunity to vote without the constraints of work obligations.
