Each state legislature sets the dates for electing their U.S. Senators and Representatives. However, aside from special elections, I'm pretty sure all states hold their elections on the same dates, the day after the first Monday of November of all even-numbered years.

∙ 11y agoThe U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 requires that a president be elected every four years.
The Presidential Election Day Act of 1845 set the date for the election of the U.S. presidential electors to the Tuesday after the first Monday of November of presidential election years. That law can be found in United States Code, Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 1.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution leaves it up to each state legislature to decide how that state's electors are to be chosen. So although every state now uses the popular vote to determine which electors will be appointed by the state, how, where and at what time the populous may vote varies from state to state.
United States Code, Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 7 specifies the date on which the electors vote for President and Vice President as the Monday after the second Wednesday of December following their appointment.

So, a Tuesday between November 2 and 8. The dates of the primary elections or caucuses are set by the States. The next Presidential election will be Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
The TIMES of the election - that is, the times during which the polls are open - are also set by the States.
