    With Election Day finally here, Wisconsin voters will be taking the time to go to the polls and cast their ballots.

    Election Day is not a federal holiday, but is observed as a holiday in some states. The state of Wisconsin does not recognize Election Day as a state holiday, so state employees do not have the day off.

    Although the day is not a federal holiday, many people are wondering whether banks, post offices and shipping services will be open on Election Day. Here's what we know.
