No, elections to the United States House of Representatives occur every two years, in even-numbered years (2008, 2010, etc).

An exception occurs in cases when a Congressman dies, resigns, or is expelled from the House by a 2/3 majority vote (usually in the case of criminal conviction). A special election is immediately called for the residents of the Representative's district. The winner of the special election serves the remainder of the exited Congressman's term and must run again in the next even-numbered year if they would like to keep the job.

Why did the Framers establish staggered elections and terms of office?

The Framers established staggered elections and terms of office to promote stability and continuity in government while preventing sudden shifts in policy and leadership. By ensuring that only a portion of elected officials would be up for re-election at any given time, they aimed to balance the need for accountability with the importance of experience and institutional knowledge. This structure also helps to mitigate the influence of fleeting popular sentiments on governance. Overall, staggered elections were designed to create a more resilient and deliberative political system.
