Elections are held every year depending on the location and the term of any given office; most notably the President and Vice President are elected to lead the Federal Government every four years, serving a maximum of two consecutive 4-year terms; members of the House are elected bi-annually. Members of the Senate are elected every 6 years in different classes; this means every 2 years elections to the Senate in some states are held, but never in all states, so not all seats will be up for election.
In the United States, elections are overseen by each state, so each state will manage their elections for all offices (including federal ones such as the President) on their own terms. The Constitution however does outline basic requirements for the election process, which includes the electoral college system.
