@komattyan In the United States most people are Christian. Therefore they had to use Sunday for going to church. In the past, it was expected that everyone had to go to church, but nowadays it's not considered unusual to not go.
Personally, I just participate in early voting on my day off. I'm not sure what most people do, though.

A long time ago people had to travel very long distances by horse to get to polling stations. If you take the weekend off and leave Monday as a travel day, then you are left with Tuesday.

@Foxglove: Thank you😊🙏🏽
But why did people leave on Monday, not weekend while people were off?
Do you go to the polls after work?
I felt very strange that cuz any election is always on Sunday in Japan.

I guess voting on Sunday would make more sense.
It's kind of an outdated rule.
