DID YOU KNOW

▪ Why is Election Day on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November? In 1845 an act was passed setting the current day. Originally, the day was set to prevent elections from occurring on the first day of November which was a busy day for merchants. Mondays were not chosen because of the long distances some voters had to travel. Travel on Sunday, a day of rest, was discouraged.
