Extend polling hours, make early voting easier but not sure a national holiday will have entirely positive effects.

Election day is a holiday in the vast majority of countries that have elections, even the undemocratic ones. Sunday is by far the most common day, but Saturdays aren't rare.
Really every other day is used somewhere except Monday. Can't have an election on a Monday for some reason.
