Fun Facts About Election Day
Election Day in the United States is held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
In the first U.S. presidential election in 1788, voting rights were very limited. Over time, voting rights expanded through amendments, laws, and civic action so that more citizens could take part in elections.
The word “vote” comes from a Latin word that means a vow, wish, or choice.

Teacher Friendly Educational Extension
Use these Election Day coloring pages as part of a simple civics lesson. Ask students to talk about choices they make every day, such as choosing a game, book, snack, or classroom activity. Then explain that voting is one way adults help make choices for their communities, states, and country.
For a classroom activity, hold a pretend vote on something fun and non-political, such as a favorite fruit, classroom read-aloud book, or recess activity. Create a simple chart to count the votes, then discuss which option received the most votes.
Older students can write a short paragraph answering the prompt: “Why is it important for citizens to vote?” Younger students can draw a picture of themselves helping their community.
