The United States general elections of 2007, to be held on Tuesday, November 6, are off-year elections in which no members of the Congress are standing for election. There will, however, be three gubernatorial races, state legislative elections in four states, numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races in several major cities, and a variety of local offices on the ballot.
[edit] Gubernatorial elections
Three states will be electing governors in 2007, although only two of them will vote on November 6, namely Kentucky and Mississippi. Louisiana's election dates do not conincide with the national day: Louisiana will hold its jungle primary on October 20 and its general election (commonly called a runoff election in Louisiana) on November 17.
[edit] State legislative elections
Four states will be electing state legislators in 2007: Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia. All but Louisiana will hold their elections on November 6, 2007. Louisiana's general election will be held on November 17, as noted above.
