When voting for the U.S. Congress, people select candidates for either the House of Representatives or the Senate. Voters typically consider factors such as party affiliation, the candidates' policies, their past performance, and local issues. The outcome of these elections determines the composition of Congress, which plays a crucial role in shaping federal legislation and governance. Ultimately, voters aim to choose representatives who align with their values and interests.
