Why US elections are held on Tuesdays

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • American elections are held on Tuesdays because of a law passed in 1845, which set Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
  • In the 1800s, most Americans were farmers who needed Sunday for worship and Monday to travel to their county seat, leaving Tuesday as voting day.
  • The rule also keeps Election Day from falling on 1 November, a religious holiday, and it still shapes the US voting calendar today, including this year's midterm elections.
  • امریکی انتخابات منگل کو اس لیے ہوتے ہیں کیونکہ 1845 کے ایک قانون نے انتخاب کا دن نومبر کے پہلے پیر کے بعد آنے والا منگل مقرر کیا تھا۔ ان دنوں زیادہ تر امریکی کسان تھے جنہیں اتوار عبادت کے لیے اور پیر کاؤنٹی مرکز تک سفر کے لیے چاہیے تھا، اس لیے منگل ووٹ کا دن رہ گیا۔ یہ اصول انتخاب کے دن کو یکم نومبر کو پڑنے سے بھی روکتا ہے، اور آج بھی امریکی ووٹنگ کا کیلنڈر اسی پر چلتا ہے، بشمول اس سال کے وسط مدتی انتخابات۔
  • अमेरिकी चुनाव मंगलवार को इसलिए होते हैं क्योंकि 1845 के एक कानून ने चुनाव का दिन नवंबर के पहले सोमवार के बाद आने वाला मंगलवार तय किया था। उन दिनों ज़्यादातर अमेरिकी किसान थे जिन्हें रविवार पूजा के लिए और सोमवार काउंटी केंद्र तक यात्रा के लिए चाहिए था, इसलिए मंगलवार मतदान का दिन रह गया। यह नियम चुनाव के दिन को 1 नवंबर को पड़ने से भी रोकता है, और आज भी अमेरिकी मतदान कैलेंडर इसी पर चलता है, जिसमें इस साल के मध्यावधि चुनाव भी शामिल हैं।
