    Yeah, major elections are always the Tuesday following the first Monday of November. Every year but most of the time it’s only significant every two years with President every four (it’s easy to remember because it happens to fall on leap years). Minor elections can happen three other times in the year (I think it’s the Tuesday following the first Monday of February, May, and August, but February and August are so rare that it was blatant election fuckery when my state had a ballot initiative vote last august). Oh and primary elections vary by state and party and are basically never on a major or minor Election Day but tend towards Tuesdays.

    Oh and we don’t get off work for it. You can also be purged from the voter rolls without notice.
