Why US general election always hold on Tuesday
Historically, Tuesday was chosen as Election Day because it allowed farmers to travel to polling locations on Monday and vote before Wednesday, which was typically a market day. While this reasoning may not be as relevant today, the tradition has stuck.
In recent years, there have been calls to make Election Day a federal holiday or move it to a weekend to increase voter turnout. Currently, some states, including Delaware, Hawaii, and New York, observe Election Day as a holiday.
