San Francisco City Hall on Election Day 2018
Election Day is the day on which general elections are held in the United States of America. Public officials at all levels, from local and state up to national (federal) government, are elected on this day. It is always held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November (the Tuesday after November 1) and can fall on or between November 2 and November 8.
Presidential elections are held every four years in years divisible by 4. The next presidential election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
General elections to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are held every two years (in even-numbered years, divisible by 2). All Representatives are elected for a two-year term and run for election every two years, while Senators are elected for a six-year term, staggered so that at each general election a third of Senators are elected. General elections in which presidential candidates are
not on the ballot are called midterm elections.
Election Day is not a federal holiday (see
US federal holidays 2022), but in some states (DE, HI, IL, IN, MD, MI, MT, NJ, NY, RI, VA and WV) it is a yearly or biennial (meaning occurring once every two years) state holiday.
