Are elections for members of Congress held on the same day in all states?
Yes, elections for President and for Congressmen in and US Senators are all held on the same day in November. Elections for House members and for one-third of the Senators are held every two years on the same day in every state. (The elections in the middle of the President's term are called "off-year" or "mid-term" elections.)

If a US Senator vacates his office before his term expires, the state may hold a special election for an interim senator.

Why are elections important?
Elections are a normally a Democratic process.This means that the electorate, or the group of enfranchised voters have the power to make changes based on a majority vote.This could be something simple such as voting for the captain of a soccer team or electing a school captain; it may be a more important election such as a mayor, congressman or even president of a country.There are obviously considerations, for example:In the late 1800's elections were held for various things including positions of power, but women did not have the right to vote (that is to say they were disenfranchised); these forms of discrimination are still held today in many countries or societies, so not all elections are "free and fair".Elections are based on majority decision, although this does not always mean that 51% is enough to constitute a win. In certain elections/ votes a 2/3 majority vote is required to constitute a win.
