Congressional elections that do not coincide with a presidential election are called off-year elections.
An off-year election is a general election in the United States that is conducted ‘off-cycle’, that is at a time when there is neither a presidential election nor a midterm election.
These elections are primarily for the county and municipal levels. Thus, the position of mayors, and other local public offices are filled in these elections. Sometimes, offices in the federal, state, and local level are also filled.
Because these are not major elections, they register lower voter turnouts. Interest groups often play a decisive role in these elections, and in fact they use these offices as part of a strategy to gain power in government in a piecemeal manner.
