Is Election Day a public holiday?

No at federal level. Election Day is not one of the eleven legal public holidays in 5 U.S.C. § 6103.

A few states treat Election Day as a state holiday. Whether any given workplace closes is a local decision and is not published here.

What day is Election Day?

Federal Election Day is the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, so the calendar date falls between November 2 and November 8.

The rule has been in federal law since 1845 for presidential electors and was later extended to Congress.

How it differs from a federal holiday

A federal holiday closes Federal Reserve Banks, USPS regular mail and, on most such days, the NYSE. Election Day does none of those things by federal statute. The useful fact on this page is the date of the federal election.
