In the United States, there are eleven federal holidays set by law (5 U.S.C. § 6103). Under current definitions, five are set by date. If any of these falls on a Saturday, then Friday (i.e., the day before) may be observed as a federal holiday. Similarly, if one falls on a Sunday, then Monday (i.e., the day after) may be observed as a federal holiday. The other seven are set by day of the week and month.
General Election Day is not a federal holiday.
