Assuming nothing unusual happens (someone dying or leaving office), Representatives are elected every two years for a term of two years, so that's simple enough.

With Senators it's a little more complicated. There's a Senate election every two years, but Senators are elected for sixyear terms. They're staggered, so that each state votes in two of the three elections that take place in a six-year span. A given state might therefore vote for senate seat 1 in 2012, not vote for a senator at all in 2014, and then vote for senate seat 2 in 2016; the cycle would start over again in 2018.
