Why Election Day in November
A historical overview explains why U.S. elections fall on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. It notes states once chose varied days, the 1845 presidential rule, and the 1872 shift toward a national date to avoid delays, Sunday voting, or late-year travel. It also mentions the 17th Amendment and early state legislatures choosing senators.
