US Election Day 2026: Banks, Post Offices, and Stock Market to Operate Normally
On November 3, 2026, the United States will hold midterm elections, but Election Day is not a federal holiday. Most public services, including post offices, banks, and major delivery companies like USPS, FedEx, and UPS, are expected to operate on regular schedules. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will also remain open for normal trading hours. Some states, such as Illinois and New York, recognize Election Day as a state holiday, which may affect local government offices and schools.
