Election History

Election Day in the United States has historically been held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. This tradition dates back to 1845, when Congress passed a federal law designating this day as the official day for general elections of federal public officials.

The purpose of this law was to ensure that all states would hold their elections on the same day, making it easier for voters to travel and cast their ballots.
