Best Answer

In the United States, the most recent general election was the "mid-term elections," held on November 2, 2010. The "mid-term" occurs halfway through a presidential term of office. At that time, the entire US House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the Senate is up for reelection. Mid-term elections are important because they may change which party controls either or both houses of Congress, which determines how much influence the sitting President has over federal policies for the remainder of his term.
