Why Elections Are Held On Tuesdays William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 11-4-14
Elections are held on Tuesdays because when the nation was founded most did not travel on Sundays for religious reasons so having it on Monday didn’t provide enough time to travel.
It’s held the first Tuesday on or after Nov. 2 because the Founders didn’t want it to fall on All Saints Day and the first of the month was when shopkeepers did their books.
They picked November because that’s when harvest was over.
