When are my representatives elected?
National Elections take place every even-numbered year. Every four years the president, vice president, one-third of the Senate, and the entire House are up for election (on-year elections). On even-numbered years when there isn't a presidential election, one-third of the Senate and the whole House are included in the election (off-year elections).
In Texas, the governor and other executive office holders are elected to 4-year terms. Members of the Texas House of Representatives serve 2-year terms and the entire House is elected every two-years. Texas State Senators are elected every two years for four-year terms with no term limits
