getNextElectionDay builds its dates at midnight UTC but compares them against the current instant, so from a millisecond past midnight on election day the election already counts as past and the helper jumps to the next cycle. On election day itself, Charlie's home tab tells people the next election day is in 2028 while they are out voting, and a restart that morning schedules the #general-talk reminder for 2028 as well.

Comparing at day granularity keeps the whole of election day reading as today. The day after still rolls forward.

The new case sets the clock to 10am eastern on 3 November 2026, which is the default reminder time. It fails on main and passes with the change.
