General elections
General elections are always held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. In a general election, Pennsylvanians vote for federal, state, and local officials, including:
- U.S. president,
- U.S. senators and U.S. representatives to Congress,
- Pennsylvania governor and lieutenant governor,
- Pennsylvania General Assembly members (state Senators and state Representatives),
- Attorney general, auditor general, and state treasurer,
- County and local officials (in odd-numbered years), and
- Judges and magisterial district judges (in odd-numbered years).
In odd-numbered years, the November general election is also called a municipal election because there are no federal or state office races on the ballot.
Every four years, the general election is also called a presidential election because the office of the U.S. president is on the ballot.
