The earliest discovered evidence of the “check-list” usage is seen in the “Journal of the House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire at Their Session Holden at the Capitol in Concord” issued in 1841 and describing the elections-related events of the autumn of 1840.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-12 |title=Pilots did not invent checklists in 1935.
