Happy Election Day 2023 – (Nov, 07) Wishes, Quotes & Messages

Election day, however, is a public holiday in several nations or parts of nations that hold elections on a weekday. Countries that allow voters to cast absentee ballots, early ballots, or postal votes by mail before the election completely bypass the issue by allowing them to cast their ballots on a day that is more convenient to them.

Protestantism, which historically prohibits activities other than attending church on Sundays, played a role in this to some extent (typically seen as occurring on a Sunday). Election night, when the results of the election total and the winners declared, typically follows an election day.

Origin of the Election Day

By 1792, federal law gave each state legislature the freedom to select presidential electors at any time before the first Wednesday in December, within a 34-day window. Elections in November were convenient since the harvest would be over but the worst winter weather, which would impede travel, would not yet have come. The election results would also roughly coincide with the start of a new year. Initially, the process used by governments to select electors varied greatly. States gradually shifted toward some sort of popular vote.

The creation of the Morse electric telegraph, which Congress supported in 1843 and successfully tested in 1844, was a technological accomplishment that unmistakably heralded the impending national adoption of instant communication. Congress responded in 1845 by requiring a standard national date for selecting Presidential electors to prevent knowledge from one state from determining election outcomes in another.

As the time between Election Day and the primary Wednesday in December is almost always 29 days, Congress picked the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November to align current voting practice with the existing 34-day frame under federal law.
