Summary
The Democracy Day Act of 2003 proposed making Election Day a legal public holiday for federal employees during every even-numbered election year. While specifically covering federal pay and leave, the bill also encouraged private employers to offer their staff similar flexibility to ensure they had the opportunity to vote. Additionally, the legislation called for a formal study to determine if designating the day as a holiday effectively increased voter turnout and participation.
