1 Election Day As you can probably tell by the name, Election Day is a day for voting. On Election Day in the United States, people go to polls to elect public officials. The biggest election is, of course, the presidential election that takes place every four years. We also elect governors, congressmen, mayors and other state and local officials in different years. Election Day is on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November. It may seem like a strange choice, but there is a reason for it. When the law was made, many Americans were farmers, and the farming season was usually over by November. Also, there were no cars, and people had to travel long distances to the polls. Tuesday was chosen to give people enough time to reach the polls, even when they needed to leave the day before (Monday) to get there. Why the Tuesday after the first Monday? This was to prevent Election Day from ever falling on November 1 st. There are two reasons for this. One is that November 1 st is All Saints Day, a holy day for Catholics. Second, many merchants were in the habit of doing their bookkeeping on the first of the month, so they would not be able to take time off to vote. Election Day is always between November 2 and November 8. In some states, it is a legal holiday. Banks and post offices are closed. Other states allow workers to take time off on Election Day so they can vote. Some people believe that because Election Day is a workday for many Americans, many do not vote. In fact, a bill was recently introduced in Congress to make Election Day a national holiday across the country called Democracy Day. Time will tell whether that ever passes. Election Day was not always the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. In 1792, the law stated that elections could be held on any day within the 34-day period before the first Wednesday in December. The problem with holding elections over a period of 34 days was that some states voted before others. As a result, those who voted later tended to choose the candidates who seemed to be ahead in the voting. In 1845, Congress chose the Tuesday after the first Monday in November as Election Day for everyone.
2 Election Day (cont d) In some states, voting is done by mail. In those states, all votes must be postmarked by Election Day. In other states, people go to the polls and cast their votes on Election Day itself. Voting on Election Day is an important part of being an American. Our founding fathers believed in government of the people, by the people and for the people. To put it simply, that means we should choose our own leaders. Election Day is set aside to give everyone a fair opportunity to have a say in who our president, governors, congressmen, mayors and other leaders will be.
