    Hmmm.
    I am voting November 2, 2010.
    The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

    SCHEDULING ELECTIONS
    When are general elections held?
    They are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. The 2010 general election will be held on November 2.
    Why are general elections held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November?
    For much of U.S. history, America was a predominantly agrarian society. Lawmakers considered their convenience when choosing a November date for elections – after harvest time but before winter weather made travel difficult – as the easiest month for farmers and rural workers to go to the polls.
    Because many rural residents lived a significant distance from the polls, Tuesday, rather than Monday, was selected to allow those who attended Sunday church services to begin travel after worship and still reach their destinations in time to cast their votes.
    Lawmakers wanted to prevent Election Day from falling on the first of November for two reasons. First, November 1 is All Saints Day, a day on which Roman Catholics are obligated to attend Mass. Also, merchants typically balanced the accounts from the preceding month on the first of each month.
