I don’t have enough context yet to determine which jurisdiction you’re asking about. Elections happen on different dates around the world, and the answer depends on the country, state/province, and the level of election (local, regional, national). If you’re asking about a specific place and date, please share:

• Country or region
• The level of election (e.g., national presidential, parliamentary, or local)
• The year or timeframe you’re interested in

If you just want a general overview, here’s a quick guide to common patterns:

• United States (federal level): Federal elections are held every two years, with presidential elections every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (latest cycle example: November 3, 2020; November 5, 2024). State and local elections occur on various dates, often in May or November, depending on the state. For precise local deadlines, check your state secretary of state or local election official.
• United Kingdom: General elections are typically held every five years, with the exact date set by statute or government decision. Recent cycles occurred in 2019 and 2015, with fixed-term patterns in recent years.
• Canada: Federal elections are generally every four years, with the Prime Minister able to call an election earlier. Provincial and municipal elections occur on dates set by each jurisdiction.
• Other countries: Election calendars vary widely; many nations stagger local and parliamentary elections across months, while some consolidate nationwide ballots.

If you specify the country, state/province, and whether you want the nearest upcoming election or a past one, I can give you the exact date and key deadlines.
