Make Election Day A State Holiday

Introduced·2/3/25

North Carolina H31 makes Election Day a paid holiday for state employees.

North Carolina H31 amends the State Human Resources Act to add statewide general Election Day as a paid holiday for state employees. The State Human Resources Commission will establish policies governing work hours and holidays, including up to 13 holidays per year, with three being Christmas holidays. This bill ensures Election Day is recognized as a paid holiday, aligning it with other established holidays like Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday and Veterans Day. The act becomes effective upon becoming law.
