There is always a congressional election held at the same time as the presidential election. However, since Congressmen serve for only a two-year term and the president serves for four years, there is a another Congressional election in the middle of the president's term. ( I am talking about the lower house of Congress. The senate elects one-third of its members every two years, so one-third of the senators are also elected at the same time as the President. )

Is a presidential election a special election?
No, a presidential election, which in the U.S. is a statewide election held on the same day in all U.S. states plus the District of Columbia that determines which presidential and vice-presidential candidates' followers will be appointed as electors of the President and Vice President, is part of a general election. General elections are regularly scheduled elections held in anticipation of a new term beginning for certain offices. Special elections are held in response to an unscheduled event, such as a Congressperson or Senator dieing in office or resigning mid-term. Some special elections are held in conjunction with general elections. The general election of vice presidents and lieutenant governors removes the need for the special election of presidents and governors by having elected officials in position to take over immediately in the event of a president or governor dieing, resigning or being removed from office.
