Voting changed in America from the early days to the present in a significant way. For instance, back in 1788, only men who were over 21 years and paying taxes were eligible to vote while today everyone who has attained the majority age can vote in the US.
White men who owned land and were over 21 could vote. Congress picked the president and they felt the general population were not informed enough to vote.
The mechanics of voting for the election of people to elected office has changed in several ways in the USA. In the early days of elections in the USA, paper ballots (secret to protect voters) was done with paper ballots placed in a ballot box. The system has evolved in most US States with ballot machines of various kinds to allow the voter to enter a small cubicle of sorts with a drawn curtain for voters to electronically register their voting choices. In 1923, woman for the first time were allowed to vote.
In the United States, presidential elections take place on the first Tuesday in November. The polls are only open for one day except for absentee ballots which may be submitted earlier. In some cities and towns, early voting is allowed at the courthouse for a few days before the election. After Election Day, it sometimes takes several days or even weeks to determine who is the winner of the election.
