"Election Day has been held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November since 1845, a decision rooted in the nation’s agricultural society, aimed at allowing traveling voters to make it to the polls."
"Why is Election Day on a Tuesday? With harvests completed and before winter travel, it was deemed practical, given the traveling time required for voters historically."
"Election Day is not a federal holiday, meaning California voters do not automatically get the day off work or school; however, state law requires employers to allow paid time off for voting."
"While California does not recognize Election Day as a holiday, states like Illinois and West Virginia do, thereby mandating employers to provide time off for employee voting needs."
