The tradition of holding U.S. elections on a Tuesday dates back to a law passed by Congress on January 23, 1845. It set Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, standardizing voting dates and preventing results from states voting early from influencing others. November was chosen because most harvest work was over and the harshest winter weather had yet to arrive. Tuesday gave voters time to travel on Monday, while avoiding Sunday, traditionally set aside for rest and worship, and Wednesday, market day in many farming communities. Although the date now makes voting more difficult for some workers and people with family responsibilities, proposals to move elections to the weekend or make Election Day a federal holiday have not changed it.
