What is the date of the next US general election?

In the United States, federal general elections are held on the first Tuesday after November 1; the calendar date varies between November 2 and November 8.

Federal elections occur every two years in even numbered years (there is an election for state and/or local offices and issues every year on the same date, however). The entire US House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate is up for election every two years. Presidential elections are held every four years, in years evenly divisible by four (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, etc.).
