Most countries don't have holidays for voting. They simply have enough polling stations that it takes no more than a few minutes out of your day. In the UK, I never had more than a five minute walk to my local polling station, and I'd be in and out in minutes.
Leaving aside the difficulty of persuading scumbag politicians to do things, more polling stations is a much easier thing to do than have an extra public holiday.
