By law, "the Sundays and the public holidays remain protected as days of rest from work and of spiritual elevation". Thus all Sundays are, in a manner, public holidays – but usually not understood by the term "holiday" (except for, normally, Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday).

Public holidays apart from the Sundays (there must be some of them constitutionally) can be declared by law by either the Federal Congress or the State Congress for their respective jurisdictions. By federal law, only the 6 days are made a holiday at present: Memorial Day, Constitution Day, Labour Day, Flag of the Nation Day, Republic of Morrawia Day and Victory Day; the others, even the ones celebrated all over Morrawia, are made holidays by state legislation. Days of federal elections, either presidential or congressional are also holidays in order for citizens to "appropriately execute their patriotic duty of voting".

These "voting holidays" as they are often called are on the 15th and 16th March for the Presidential Elections, 2nd and 3rd July for Federal House Elections, and 21st and 22nd November for the Federal Senate Elections
