00:00Whether it's a presidential election or a congressional election,
00:02the U.S. national election is always set on Monday, the first Monday of November.
00:06But there's actually a lot of detail behind it.
00:09It's okay if you don't understand it. It's no use if you understand it.
00:10Understand it and talk about it.
00:11This mystery starts from 1845.
00:14At that time, the U.S. was an agricultural society.
00:15And the harvest was just over in November.
00:17Farmers just happened to have time to vote.
00:18In addition, people had to rush to the county government to vote.
00:21People have to go to church on Sunday.
00:23If you set off on Monday,
00:24you can only reach the polling station on Tuesday.
00:26So why must it be on Monday, the first Monday?
00:30This is to prevent the voting day from falling on November 1st.
00:32Because that day is Halloween.
00:34This day is an important day for the Catholic Church.
00:37And in the 18th century,
00:38businessmen had to deal with accounts on the first day of each month.
00:41So the U.S. Congress passed a law in 1845
00:44to set a national voting day,
00:45which is Monday, the first Monday of November.
00:48For example,
00:49the first Monday of November this year is the 4th.
00:51So the voting day falls on the 5th.
