Short answer: It depends on your location. Based on current information, Election Day is not a nationwide federal holiday, and in many U.S. locations it falls on a Tuesday after the first Monday in November. For 2025 specifically, local and state elections occurred or are scheduled in various states on November 4, 2025, with polls typically open in the morning and close in the evening in most jurisdictions. Context and specifics:
- In the United States, Election Day is not a federal holiday and is not uniformly observed as a day off for all workers. Banks and many businesses remain open, though some employers may grant time off or flexibility for voters [web results indicate Election Day is not a federal holiday].
- The traditional schedule ties Election Day to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This date pattern is enshrined in historical law and explains why Election Day often lands on a Tuesday in early November.
- For 2025, several major local and state elections were scheduled on or around November 4, 2025, including mayoral races and other contests in large jurisdictions. Exact polling hours and early voting windows vary by locality, so check your city or state election office for precise details.
