Election dates

In 1845, Congress passed a law providing for a uniform nationwide date for choosing Presidential electors.Statutes at Large, 28th Congress, 2nd Session, p. 721.

In 1874–75, there were still 10 states with earlier election dates, and 3 states with later election dates: *Early elections (1874): **June 1
