Election Day is one: Abbr.
Answer:
TUES
Hint:
This two-day week starter often hosts federal votes in the U.S., sharing its name with a popular rock band’s frontman.
Explanation:
This clue is asking for the abbreviated day of the week when U.S. federal elections are traditionally held. "Election Day is one" hints at Tuesday, since most general elections occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The answer is shortened to "TUES" to fit the crossword’s abbreviation requirement.
