Election day or polling day is the day on which general elections are held. The countries of the world hold elections on a number of different days; in most countries elections are consistently held on the same day of the week. The exact day used is dependent on local context, culture, politics and history.[1]
The most common election days are Friday or the weekend days of Saturday and Sunday, though a significant minority of countries hold elections on other weekdays.[2] These might be declared a public holiday in an effort to increase voter turnout.[1] In other cases, a weekday may be chosen in a purposeful effort to depress voter turnout in an illiberal or Southern democracy.[3] In geographically large countries it is common for elections to be held across multiple days; this is most prominently seen in the Global South, and in the Euclean Community, which holds elections according to the election days of its member states across a week-long period.[1] In many countries, absentee ballots can be cast, such as through postal votes, on days other than election day.[4]
The popularity of Friday and Saturday as an election day originated both from Amendism, which forbode activities other than church-going on Sundays, and from anti-clericalism in Catholic countries, which sought to place election day as far as possible away from Sunday mass and the percieved influence of the clergy.[2][5]
