Election Day November 2009
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Election Day November 2009, Every four years, Election Day (Tuesday after first Monday in November), * the registered voters in the United States cast their votes for presidential electors. Collectively, these electors form the Electoral College. The number of electors each state is equal to the number of its congressional delegation. Thus, each state has at least three electors. Kansas has six electors and Missouri has eleven. These electors meet the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December to elect a President and Vice-President.
In 1845, Congress established Election Day, in response to abuses caused by the previous system of electing the President and Vice-President. Under the old system, the States may appoint the electors at any time within 34 days before the conclusion of the voters in December.
