Governing Law: Official public holidays in the Seychelles are regulated by the Public Holidays Act 1976 (an Act to make provision for public holidays; and to provide for matters incidental thereto or connected therewith) as amended in 1994 by the Public Holidays (Amendment) Act, 1994 (No. 5 of 1994, Official Gazette, Supplement, 1994-06-07, pp. 25-26) which added the June 18 National Day to the list of public holidays in the Seychelles. • Other Sources of Information For information not covered here, see the following specialized websites: Central Bank of Seychelles (Seychelles central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (maps, demographic and economic statistics), Copp Clark (financial markets' trading hours, settlement holidays and currency non-clearing days), and the IFES Election Guide (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and past voter participation).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Seychelles, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions.
