when are increased election margin requirements going back to usual?

It's depends on what broker you use

That usually depends upon the broker you use. It might take some time to go back to normal. Maybe they are waiting for all the election ado to normalise first. Guess, you’ll have to wait a while.

 

I haven’t used their platform yet so can’t say. I’ll look into it though. Thanks.

 

IBKR margins have reverted back to normal.

 

This will depend upon your broker so you can make inquiries accordingly.
