Will banks, post offices, UPS, and FedEx be open?

Election Day is Tuesday, and while many people will focus on getting to their polling places and casting their votes, others will be balancing regular errands, like picking up dry cleaning or going to the bank. Although Election Day is not a federal holiday, some states do observe it as one. Many state offices will close, and 24 states, along with the District of Columbia, offer paid time off to vote. Other states provide time off for voting but without pay.
