What time period were General elections held since 1845?

General elections in the United States have been held every two years since 1845, following the establishment of a uniform date for congressional elections. Specifically, they occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This system has remained consistent, allowing voters to elect members of Congress and, in some cases, state and local offices during the same time frame. Presidential elections, which also occur every four years, align with this schedule.
