Election day as a holiday

Election Day as a holiday means that it's recognized as a special day when many government offices, schools, and businesses may close or operate differently to encourage participation in the voting process. It serves as a reminder of the importance of civic engagement, making it easier for citizens to cast their ballots without work or other commitments. While not all countries or regions designate it as a holiday, in places where it is, the goal is to increase voter turnout by providing a dedicated, accessible time for elections.
