Regular elections are mandated by the US Constitution. Every even-numbered year, all the representatives in House are voted on. Senate terms are six years, so only one-third are elected each even-numbered year. The class of each senator is determined at statehood. If a senator resigns or dies, the governor of his state appoints a replacement who holds office until a special election is held or until the next national election day. Absent House members are not replaced until the next national election. National elections are held on the first Tuesday in November unless November 1 is a Tuesday, in which case the election is postponed until the second Tuesday.
