History Of Election Day
Elections are the only element that distinguishes a democratic country from that of a dictatorial one, allowing citizens to exert influence over their authorities and remove them without having to resort to revolt. This day is a wonderful opportunity to express our gratitude for the privileges that have been bestowed on us via the concept of democracy.
During the year 1789, on the date of 7th January, electors were chosen for the first presidential election in the United States. Each state could pick its Presidential electors at any time within the time period of 34 days and send them to the Electoral College under federal law. This became a concern when communications and transportation reached an advanced era, because states that voted first may affect ones that voted later. To avoid this, Congress enacted legislation establishing a single national election date.
It was the date of 23rd January on the year 1845, which was the 1st Tuesday after the first Monday when election day was established for the first time to elect future presidents of the US. Elections were thought appropriate at this time since the harvest time would have ended by then. Tuesday was a good day to vote since folks could go to church on Sunday and then go to the polls on Monday. By this fixing, farmers became eligible to vote before Wednesday, which was traditionally the time, when they sold their goods at the market.
The first election was held on November 7, 1848. Zachary Taylor, who was a candidate of the Whig Party, defeated former president and Free-Soil contender Martin Van Buren and Democrat candidate Lewis Cass. After Taylor’s unexpected death on July 10, 1850, Millard Fillmore, Taylor’s running partner, became the 13th president of the nation of the US.
