There are 3 levels of government in the U.S.: federal, state, and local. All levels of government must obey the U.S. and State Constitutions. The U.S. Constitution gives the federal government certain powers and assigns all other powers to the state governments. State governments establish the local governments within their territories and delegate certain powers to them.
General elections are held in November and run on a four-year cycle, starting with the presidential election year. Different offices are filled each year. We are now in the first year of this cycle.
