In which month do voters typically elect a President?

Voters typically elect a President in November. This timing is rooted in the U.S. electoral process, set by law. The choice of November for the presidential election is advantageous due to the harvest season’s conclusion, allowing agrarian communities to participate more freely. Also, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November was established by Congress in 1845 to provide a consistent date for elections, removed from the potential disruptions of the agricultural calendar.

This timing coincides with the end of the growing season, which historically was essential for many voters who were engaged in farming. The state-by-state process that follows involves the casting of electoral votes in December, but the actual public election occurs in November, marking it as the official month for selecting the President.
