Hello Vanguard Family! 👋
Today’s Election Day! Make sure you take a few minutes to exercise your right to vote — every voice matters!
Ever wondered why Election Day always lands on a Tuesday in November? Back in the 1800s, most people were farmers who often had to travel a day or two to reach their polling place. November was chosen because harvest season was over, and Tuesday worked best since it didn’t interfere with church on Sunday or market day on Wednesday.
Pretty cool how tradition and practicality shaped our democracy! 🗳️

¡Hola, familia Vanguard! 👋 ¡Hoy es día de elecciones! No olviden dedicar unos minutos a ejercer su derecho al voto: ¡cada voto cuenta!

¿Se han preguntado alguna vez por qué las elecciones siempre caen en martes de noviembre? En el siglo de 1800, la mayoría de la gente eran agricultores que a menudo tenían que viajar uno o dos días para llegar a su centro de votación. Se eligió noviembre porque la temporada de cosecha había terminado, y el martes era el día más conveniente, ya que no interfería con la iglesia el domingo ni con el día de mercado del miércoles. ¡Es fascinante cómo la tradición y la practicidad han moldeado nuestra democracia! 🗳️
