If I may, Oregon has all mail-in voting, if one wishes to use it. We receive our ballots, sit at the kitchen table and mark them.
We place them into the post-paid envelope, sign the back, and mail them back.
In a week or so, one of us checks with the Oregon Secretary of State 'My Vote' website, to make sure it was received in good order, and doesn't need a 'cure.'
The Oregon voting system is among the most secure, accurate, convenient of all states, with 1 of the highest rates of participation, but I still think Election Day as a national holiday is a good idea. Most states still have voting at poll stations.

That solves the necessity for a voting 'holiday.'
IMO ...
