Federal elections are held on which day every four years?

3rd Monday in October
2nd Tuesday in November
1st Monday in May
4th Friday in June

The correct answer is: 3rd Monday in October

In the United States, federal elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November every four years. This date was chosen in 1845 in order to ensure that election day would not fall on November 1st, which is considered a holy day by some religious groups. Option B, 2nd Tuesday in November, is incorrect because it is not the correct date for federal elections. Option C, 1st Monday in May, is incorrect because this date is typically reserved for local elections and not federal elections. Option D, 4th Friday in June, is incorrect because it falls outside of the designated election day in November.
