Off-year election generally refers to the year in between the presidential election year and the mid-term election year. Off-year elections ocur in the odd numbered years. Unless there is a vacancy, no U.S. representative's seat is up for election at that time. All 435 of the U.S. representative's seats are up for election every two years -- presidential election and the mid-term election -- the even years.
