No, but I believe you are allowed to take time off from work to vote.

2006 Federal Holidays"\n\nMonday, January 2* New Year's Day. The main calendar of western civilization turns from one year to a next and federal employees get a day off\n\nMonday, January 16 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. This day is celebrated some time near the ACTUAL day of MLKs birthday, but federal employees prefer three day weekends.\n\nMonday, February 20** Washington's Birthday. Again, this is not the actual birthday of our first president, but federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, May 29 Memorial Day. This is a three day weekend to remember dead people and for federal employees to get a day off\n\nTuesday, July 4 Independence Day. This day is known as the fourth of July, and so it is actually celebrated on the day of the 4th, and not the nearest Monday. It's a uniquely American fire holiday celebrating the United State's declaration of independence from the British Empire, and federal employees get a day off.\n\nMonday, September 4 Labor Day. Not to be confused with International Labor Day on May first, the anniversary of a huge labour riot in Chicago. The American Day is based on an arbitrary date, and federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, October 9 Columbus Day. A day celebrating Columbus discovering America and openning it up for European conquest, and federal emploees get a three day weekend\n\nFriday, November 10*** Veterans Day. Remember those who fought for America, and get a three day weekend\n\nThursday, November 23 Thanksgiving Day. This one often gets a 4 day weekend. This celebrates a time when Native Americans saved the early colonists from starving. If they had it to do over again, I wonder ...\n\nMonday, December 25 Christmas Day. This is the day which the ancient Pagans celebrated as the Winter Solstice when they celebrated the God of light. Early Christians then used the day to celebrate their God of Light,one of only two birthdays celebrated in Christendom, with John the Baptist on the old day of the Summer Solstice. All other saint days are death-days. This Pagan holiday is celebrated with the decorating of an evergreen tree and the exchanging of gifts for the children. (historically, it was celebrated with orgies by the adults, so the things you hear about happenning at Christmas parties have historical presedence)

No.  It is December 31 11:59:59.999 PM.  The only exception would be certain fiscal filers.  This would not apply to individuals.

The vast majority of Americans want it recognized as a federal holiday, so ... that's the way of it.\n\n.

In the US, elections are always on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That means November 7th this year.\n\nAnd I wish more congresswhores were worried they'd lose their cushy country-club membership. But they have effectively made many laws over the years giving incumbents huge advantages in elections for that very reason.

No.  Because voting polls are open between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM and then the votes have to be tallied.\n\nIf the Reps win, we will know for sure that the elections are rigged.  That would not surprise me after all that I have seen in my years on this planet.  Sad.

It depends on where you live. This website gives information about that (scroll down to the tables):\nhttp://www.uselections.com/faq_electday.htm

Egads!  They didn't.  The Constitution did not set election day at all.\n\nThe Tuesday after the first Monday in November was initially established in 1845 (3 U.S.C. 1) for the appointment of Presidential electors in every fourth year. 2 U.S.C. 7 established this date for electing U.S. Representatives in every even numbered year in 1875. Finaly, 2 U.S.C. 1 established this date as the time for electing U.S. Senators in 1914.

Whenever we have an election in Australia  it is always held on a Saturday whether it is a state or Federal election . This is presumably held on a Saturday so more voters can get to their polling booth to vote.

Yes, of course I knew it was election day.  The first Tuesday every May and November.  I also had to work all day to support my family, but I made time.  Luckily May elections are usually not as important as November elections.  Mark the first Tuesday in November on your calendar now so you won't forget.\n\n:)

No.\n\nI have a UK calendar right in front of me, and it only lists Monday, May 29 as a bank holiday.

A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

No. The post office is a federal office so they have all federal holidays off as well as Sundays.

Go to your state gov site (ie NY, MA, CA etc...) and then look into labor laws for national holidays.

Not anymore. You should have called the Secretary of State's office weeks ago if you had not yet received the ballot. By law, no votes cast after the election night deadline may be counted.
