WASHINGTON — Election Day 2025 is here with a number of closely watched races across the country taking place on Tuesday, Nov. 4. While it’s not a federal holiday, you may be wondering how it impacts mail delivery, banks, the stock market and other businesses.
Here’s a look at what’s open and closed on Election Day 2025 and how it may impact your Tuesday.
Are banks open on Election Day?
Election Day is not a federal holiday, which means you can expect most – if not all – banks to be open.
Banks, such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, TD Bank and Regions Bank, should not see any changes in their operating hours on Tuesday.
Banking services, such as ATMs and online banking, should also remain normal on Election Day and during the holiday season. Be sure to check with your specific location, though.
Is the post office open on Election Day? Will there be mail delivery on Tuesday?

However, looking ahead to next week, the U.S. Postal Service will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 11, to observe Veterans Day.
Is the stock market open on Election Day?
Yes, because Election Day is not a federal holiday, the stock market is open on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Are restaurants and grocery stores open?
Yes, there are no major retailers that have announced plans to close for Election Day.
