tvsquad.com — While 24 is, ironically, a show about literally counting down the minutes of a single day, the show's creators intentionally never mention the year in which Jack Bauer's current bad day is taking place. However, several clues let us place the calendar date for season six in the not-too-distant future...

@Kratos76Yes Nextel phones if they have a SIM card. Nextel phones definitely take SIM cards because they use iDen and TDMA.

The irony is that a show whose entire premise is based upon an exact timeframe (24 hours) counting down takes place at an unknown point in time (in general). It's definitely ironic, even if you don't get it.

I thought it was mentioned that he'd been in office for about 3 months? Right before the 11 week terror campaign started. Previous guy resigned or died or something.

If he were elected regularly, he would be taking the oath in Jan 2013 anyway, so unless it's April 2013, he obviously took over after a resignation/death/etc, and it could happen at any time.
