Tuesday After the First Monday
- In the United States, elections are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. They therefore fall between November 2 and November 8.

The President of the United States is elected in years divisible by four. Most U.S. states, counties, and municipalities have some part of their election cycle coincident with this date.
Third Thursday
- The Great American Smokeout sponsored by the American Cancer Society occurs on the third Thursday of November, one week before Thanksgiving. Smokers are encouraged to quit smoking for these 24 hours, in hopes that they will quit forever.
