The term "general election" distinguishes the event from "primary elections," which are held in late winter or spring to select which party candidates will advance to the general election; or a "special election," which is held when an unexpected vacancy opens for an elected public office.
"General election" doesn't necessarily mean "National Election" or "Presidential election," as many people believe. National elections for federal officials (Congress, President), occur every two years on even-numbered years. Presidential elections occur every four years, in years evenly divisible by four.
"Mid-Term Elections" are held after a President has been in office two years, and are significant because one-third of the Senate and the entire 435-member House of Representatives stand for election at once. The results of a mid-term election can change the balance of power in the House, and in Congress as a whole.
