Best Answer

In the US, members of Congress are elected by direct vote. The President is elected by electors who are elected by direct ballot in each separate state. The electors are tied to a presidential candidate whose name appears on the ballot- a vote for the candidate is actually a vote for his slate of electors.

Members of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the electoral college are elected in November. The electoral college elects the President and Vice President in December.

When a seat in Congress is vacated due to death, resignation or removal from office, an election is organized immediately to fill the empty seat. States have the Constitutional right to allow their Governor to appoint a temporary replacement until an election can take place.
