The publishers schedule a release time, not a duration. ## Limits - These are scheduled publication dates and times. This page does not characterise the period, describe how any market behaves around these times, or state when any result becomes known. - Schedules change. Each row links the publisher that owns the date so a reader can check it against the source. - Poll hours, counting and certification are set by individual states and are not listed here. ## Sources - https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm - https://www.bls.gov/schedule/2026/11_sched.htm - https://dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/election-dates - https://www.bls.gov/opub/copyright-information.htm - https://www.federalreserve.gov/disclaimer.htm --- ## Citation Source: SquawkFlow, https://squawkflow.com/calendar/election-week-2026 Retrieved: 2026-09-15T16:30:35.072Z Dates checked against government sources on 2026-09-14.
