In the United States, federal Election day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The next federal election will be November 8, 2016. Presidential elections are held in years divisible by 4. Congressional elections are held in years divisible by 2.
There are elections every day somewhere for something. That could be a national election in a country, or a simpler election, like for a committee.
It's the day when elections are held (and the name The Day When Elections Are Held was too long).
Changing the date of state elections from the day of national elections could have advantages. It would reduce overcrowding on Election Day, allowing for better management and shorter wait times for voters. It could also increase voter engagement and turnout, as state issues and candidates may receive more attention when not overshadowed by the national election.

Most elections are held on a Tuesday.
