There was no one way elections were done.
Republican cities, which included the medieval communes and free cities, were usually organized by guilds. The guilds were local, and though they clearly influenced each other by example, each guild decided on its own what its organization would be. The cities were not usually dominated by one guild, but were governed by a set of guilds, each with its own input according to an agreed upon design. Different cities had different guilds, just as they had different economies.
One hypothetical design would be that in a city with a number of guilds, the members of each guild elected two representatives to a municipal council. This council then appointed officers of the cities, and possibly made laws. A republican city might retain a lord who inherited a title, and the lord might retain some rights, such as approving legislation. Alternatively, the lord had merely figurehead duties. Possibly, there was a "lord" who was elected. Or maybe there was no lord.
Clearly, we could sit in a cafe all day designing medieval city governments, each with a different way of running elections.
Because they wanted their own unique laws and were willing to pay for them
Medieval communes were walled towns or cities that were usually run by mercantile organizations or the citizens themselves. Most were in Italy or Germany. I don't know whether free cities in the Hanseatic League count as communes, but they might.

Guilds organized trade in medieval cities and towns.

The USA run presidential elections every 4 years. While there may be Special Elections at any time and cities and counties may have there own elections when they choose, statewide elections will be held no less then every two years since the US House of Representatives are elected for two year terms of office.
One point of view:As trade grew medieval cities became overcrowded and unsanitary.Another point of view:As trade grew, medieval cities became more important, more prosperous, and bigger.

They weren't. Medieval cities were ruled by a monarchy which has a King or Royal Family. You had to be born into Royalty or overthrow the King to be elected.
