What's open and closed on Election Day 2024? Check here before you go.

Election Day 2024 is expected to bring out tens of millions of people to their polling places, and many may also want to know what's open or closed if they need to run errands, like shopping or getting to the post office.

While the Tuesday after the first Monday in November is designated for federal, state and local general elections, it is not a federal holiday. But some state offices will be closed, while workers in 28 states are guaranteed voting leave to take time off from work to cast their ballots. 

That may leave some Americans to question whether they'll find their local stores, banks, post offices, DMV and other services open on November 5. At the same time, some schools are closed on Election Day, partly as some educational facilities double as polling stations.
