A year is considered a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4, thus 2012 was evenly divisible by 4 so it was a leap year. 2013 does not evenly divide into 4 so it is not a leap year.
There are two major exceptions, a year which is divisible by 4 but not by 100 is NOT a leap year (like 1900 wasn't), but if it is also divisible by 400 then it IS a leap year (like 2000 was).

When was the last calendar equal to 2012?
Because of the extra weekday each year, and because of leap years, identical non-leap year calendars repeat on a cycle of 6 or 11 years. Leap years repeat every 28 years. (There are only 14 different possible calendars.) The years that were the same calendar as 2012 were 1984, 1956, and 1928.
Does every country do leap year?
No ! The presidential elections are not always on a leap year. Even though a leap year is every 4 years, not every election is a leap year. The notable exceptions are years that mark centuries (example 1800, 1900, 2000). If those years are not divisible by 400, then the year is not a leap year.

What do the Jewish and Chinese calenders have in common?
The Jewish and Chinese calendars are solar-lunar. A month is defined as the time it takes for the moon to circle the earth. A year is defined as the time it takes for the earth to circle the sun. Since the lunar months don't quite add up to a year, an extra month is added in leap years. In both calendars, leap years occur seven times every 19 years. Chinese and Jewish leap years don't always coincide. Even though both calendars add a month 7 times every 19 years, the leap years don't have to take place the same year. Jewish and Chinese holidays often occur on the full moon.
