Answer:
Yes. In the United States, a general election is when voters choose which candidates will hold office beginning in January of the next year.
The term "general election" distinguishes the event from "primary elections," which are held in late winter or spring to select which party candidates will advance to the general election, or a "special election," which is held when an unexpected vacancy opens for an elected public office.
"General election" doesn't necessarily mean "Presidential election," as many people believe. The Presidential election occurs every four years during the general election. "Mid-Term Elections" are held after a President has been in office two years, and are significant because it is part of the two-year cycle when voters elect members of the House of Representatives. The results of a mid-term election can change the balance of power in the House, and even in Congress as a whole.
