A chad is a small fragment that is punched out and leftover when a hole is punched in a material such as paper or cardboard.
Dimpled Chad Day is observed of every year in memory of the infamous punched card voting ballot. Election offices all around the country need help with voter rolls, registration, census, and more. This is a day to commemorate all the dimpled chads of the world, left over from various and sundry contested elections.
It is unknown why January 4 was chosen as the date for Dimpled Chad Day, but it is just two days before January 6, the date in 2001 on which Congress made the official tally of electoral votes in the 2000 election. This gave George W. Bush 271 electoral votes, one more than was needed to secure the presidency and defeat Al Gore.
