2015 Upcoming Elections (intro from mytimetovote)
The 2015 U.S. general election will be held on Tuesday, the 3rd of November 2015.
This off-year election will only feature special elections to the United States Congress, if
any. There will also be municipal, school board, gubernatorial and state legislative

the incumbent governors of Kentucky and Louisiana are term-limited and unable to seek
reelection. There are also three lieutenant gubernatorial seats on the ballot in 2015.

Voter identification (ID) requirements
There are several situations when voters need to show identification before voting. Usually, ID is
required to prove the voter's identity and residency at the address of the registration. A total of
thirty-four states have passed voter ID laws. These are not all in force at this point, either
because the implementation date is in the future or because of court challenges.

General Elections:
General elections have the most offices and issues on the ballot and usually generate more
interest and higher turnout than any other elections.Most offices on the general election ballot are
partisan.
Primary and Caucus
Primary elections are one means by which a political party nominates candidates for the next
general election. The main difference between a caucus and a primary is that a caucus involves
face-to-face interaction between voters, where voters can try to persuade one another to vote for
(or against) a certain candidate.
Municipal Elections
In municipal elections, registered voters elect members of their local government, such as
mayors, council people, township supervisors and district judges.
School Elections
School elections are held to elect school board members and community college directors
Special Elections
A special election is held when someone who is already in office can no longer serve and must
be replaced. All registered voters in the district can vote in a special election.
