Methodology

US: OPM's list of federal holidays (the observed day off) and the Federal Reserve K.8 list of days when Reserve Banks are closed. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, K.8 keeps the Banks open the preceding Friday; when it falls on a Sunday the Banks close the following Monday.

Spain: the 2026 and 2027 working-holidays resolutions of the Dirección General de Trabajo published in the BOE, with each community's columns.

Federal Reserve Banks follow the K.8 list, which is not identical to OPM's: for a Saturday holiday the Banks stay open the Friday before.

Is Election Day a federal holiday?

No. It is not on OPM's list of federal holidays.

Where do Spain's holidays come from?

From the BOE resolutions of the Dirección General de Trabajo (2026 and 2027).
