In 1990, when Russia was still part of the USSR (which had its first democratic election in 1989).\nAs an independent country - 1993, I believe (Russian Duma)\nI think I have to add that there was a democratic election in November 1917 (after the October revolution!) to the so-called "founding congress" (учредительное собрание in Russian), which was supposed to prepare a new constitution and organize parliamentary elections. The first session took place on January 5, 1918. However, bolshevicks, who had the actual power at that time, lost elections, they simply dissolved this body on the very next day (January 1918)

Egads!  They didn't.  The Constitution did not set election day at all.\n\nThe Tuesday after the first Monday in November was initially established in 1845 (3 U.S.C. 1) for the appointment of Presidential electors in every fourth year. 2 U.S.C. 7 established this date for electing U.S. Representatives in every even numbered year in 1875. Finaly, 2 U.S.C. 1 established this date as the time for electing U.S. Senators in 1914.
