What types of elections are there?

Thea Brodkin (Voter Service Chair) gives expert video advice on: What types of elections are there?; Why do we have primaries?; Why do states keep moving their primaries earlier? and more...

The big national election of course is the Presidential election, it's every four years. And there's always a primary election where we choose our candidates. And then the general election, where we choose.... you're really not... your voting for the presidential candidates, but you realize voting for the people to go to the electoral college to vote for you. Even that, you're not really voting for President, just saying who you would like them to vote for President. And then you have the State wide elections because we elect our government at the state level too. And then we have our local elections, and our county elections which come sometimes at the same time as the state wide elections. Sometimes cities and counties do it on other dates. On odd, like instead of the even number years, the odd number years.
