2008 civics test · Question 27 · System of Government
In what month do we vote for President?
One of the 20 questions for the 65/20 special consideration
Official answer
- November
What this means
We vote for President in November.
By law, Election Day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, so it always lands between November 2 and November 8. Presidential elections happen every four years, and that same November date is also when Americans vote for members of Congress.
You do not need the exact day for the test. The answer is simply November.
Why this is on the test
This 2008 question asks for a single fact, the month of presidential elections, that is easy to remember once you connect it to Election Day.
How this question is asked
On the 2008 civics test, the officer asks up to 10 of the 100 questions out loud and you pass by answering 6 correctly. You answer in your own words. There is no multiple choice and nothing to write down for the civics portion.
