Midterm elections in the United States are general elections held near the midpoint of a president’s four-year term. Held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, voters decide on all 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 33 or 34 seats in the US Senate.
During the same period, 34 of the 50 US states elect their governors to four-year terms, while Vermont and New Hampshire elect theirs to two-year terms.
