So the second Tuesday of November, or am I missing an exception?


If November 1st is a Monday then the first Tuesday after that is the first Tuesday of the month.


yes, or to put it another way, it's the first Tuesday of the month unless the first Tuesday is November 1st, then it's the second Tuesday, November 8th

pointing it out because it's always the first Tuesday unless that 1 out of 7 where you have to wait a week -1 for the first Monday.

I think the reasoning is something like "we need to have a full business day in November before we have an election, that will give us a chance to fix problems or something"... not sure if under the old county/shire system months made a difference or something.


Got it now. Yes, I was missing something (obvious).
