   The U.S. election system primarily consists of federal elections, including presidential, congressional, and state elections. Presidential elections occur every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Voters cast ballots for electors in the Electoral College, which ultimately determines the president. Congressional elections happen every two years, where all 435 House seats and about one-third of the 100 Senate seats are contested.  State and local elections occur simultaneously or at different times, varying by state. The election process includes primaries, general elections, and various voting methods, such as in-person and mail-in voting. Election laws and procedures can vary significantly across states, influencing voter access, registration, and ballot design. Recent elections have focused on issues like voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and election security.
