a start; improvements welcome
'''Election Day''' typically refers to the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in the [[United States]], although there are also many other days on which elections are held throughout the year.

In years divisible by four, Americans select the president for the next four years on Election Day, and also select one-third of the [[U.S. Senate]], all of the members of the [[House of Representatives]], and decide who will serve in many other offices.

In other years divisible by two, Americans select one-third of the [[U.S. Senate]], all of the members of the [[House of Representatives]], and most state governorships.

In off-numbered years, Americans residing in [[New Jersey]] and [[Virginia]] select state office-holders, and also vote on initiatives or referenda. Governorships are selected in those two states in the year immediately following a presidential election.
