The UK and U.S. elections differ primarily in their electoral systems and structures. The UK uses a parliamentary system where the Prime Minister is the leader of the majority party in Parliament, whereas the U.S. employs a presidential system with a separate executive branch. Additionally, the UK generally holds elections every five years, while U.S. elections occur every four years for the presidency, with various midterm elections in between. Finally, the UK favors a "first-past-the-post" voting system for parliamentary seats, whereas the U.S. has a mix of electoral college voting for presidential elections and similar district-based systems for congressional races.
