Voting day being a holiday would be mostly symbolic. It also helps to ensure that there is no discrimination around the UBI bonus for voting. If an employer forced an employee to work on voting day then it would be grounds for a lawsuit because it's a holiday. And yes, there would be weeks to vote by mail and vote early in person ahead of the actual voting day.
