The 2022 midterm elections are now less than a month away, but if you’ve wondered why Americans vote in early November, there are a series of interesting explanations.
According to Britannica and other sources, Congress wanted to respect Christians who observed All Saints Day, which occurs on Nov. 1. As a result, Election Day wasn’t allowed to fall on that date.
The encyclopedia also says that consideration was given to merchants who used the first day of the month to settle accounts for the previous month, and for whom voting on the first of the month would cause a difficult challenge to overcome.
As a result, they established Tuesday as the date for the election, allowing residents to travel on Mondays and to return home by Wednesdays, when farmers would typically take their crops to market places, according to Ritchie.
