Seems pretty simple to me:
Mandate that political elections by any party within the state are to be held on the same day, then declare what day that will be, and then declare that day as a state holiday.
On the national level, make the federal election day a national holiday.

1. Because that is how Jefferson, et al., wanted it to be; and
2. Although I'm not "protesting" anything at the moment, I don't believe that there is any dissonance between my two posts. I'm simply saying that if you want to effect change, you should be expected to show up and put in the work to accomplish the desired change, but--historically speaking--not everyone was allowed to show up.
