Although it’s an established tradition for presidents-elect to be inaugurated on January 20 nowadays, Inauguration Days used to take place on March 4 because that was as quickly as votes could be logistically counted. However, the History Channel explained that technological advances allowed for a January inauguration by 1933; it wasn’t until Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s second term began in 1937 that January 20 became the accepted date for this.
