Morphology
The meaning 'the day on which an election is held' is directly and predictably composed from 'election' (a voting process) + 'day' (a calendar day). This noun+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Election day comes from the simple idea of choosing one special day for the election, when people all go to the same place to vote. That's why it means 'the day on which an election is held'.
