November 8

Since 1845, Election Day was on November 8 (the second, rather than the first, Tuesday) in the following years: 1853, 1859, 1864, 1870, 1881, 1887, 1892, 1898, 1904, 1910, 1921, 1927, 1932, 1938, 1949, 1955, 1960, 1966, 1977, 1983, 1988, 1994, 2005, and 2011. In the next 100 years, Election Day will fall on November 8 in 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044, 2050, 2061, 2067, 2072, 2078, 2089, 2095, 2101, 2107, and 2112.

A method of calculating the "period between Election Day and the first Wednesday in December"

The first Wednesday in December occurs on the 1st thru the 7th; for calculation purposes, they may be thought of as November 31st thru 37th. The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (Election Day) occurs on the 2nd thru the 8th. The set of differences between the two sets of dates is { (31 - 8 = 23) thru (37 - 2 = 35) }. The difference between a date on a Wednesday in December and a date on a Tuesday in November must be a multiple of 7, plus one (7a + 1). The only difference in the set {23 thru 35} meeting this criterion is 29; hence, the period between Election Day and the first Wednesday in December is always 29 days.

Another method of calculating the "period between Election Day and the first Wednesday in December"

The set of differences between the two sets of dates above is { (31 - 2) thru (37 - 8) = 29 }. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.154.63.66 (talk) 03:03, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
