Voting on Tuesday used to be so that people in the country could travel to the polls to vote without interfering with their religious commitments.
Sunday was church day, so you traveled on Monday, arrived on Tuesday to vote and returned home that evening.
Nowadays it's just a way to suppress the vote of people who work during weekdays and don't have benefits such as paid time off or the ability to come into work late/early.
