Election Day

Election day is determined to be the Tuesday after the first Monday in November and it cannot be on the 1st, it has to be on or between the 2nd and the 8th. The reason for this is because the 1st is All Saints' Day which is a Holy Day and also most merchants were in the habit of doing their books on the 1st. It is on a Tuesday because most residents of America had to travel long distances to vote and they did not want to mess up the Church services by making it on a Monday.

The states that election day is a civic holiday in Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and the territory of Puerto Rico.
