Understanding the Electoral Process
Federal elections in the United States operate on fixed cycles. The President is elected every four years, while members of the U.S. House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are up for election every even-numbered year. U.S. Senators serve six-year terms, with one-third of the Senate up for election every two years.
The Electoral College is the process used to elect the President and Vice President. Instead of a direct popular vote, citizens vote for electors who then cast ballots for the candidates. This system balances the influence between highly populated states and those with smaller populations, ensuring a federalist approach to national leadership.
