Answer:
✒ What is a mid term election?
- A midterm election refers to a type of election where the people can elect their representatives and other subnational officeholders (e.g. governor, members of local council) in the middle of the term of the executive.
- This is usually used to describe elections to a governmental body (generally a legislature) that are staggered so that the number of offices of that body would not be up for election at the same time.
- Only a fraction of a body's seats are up for election while others are not until the terms of the next set of members are to expire.
- The legislators may have the same or longer fixed term of office as the executive, which facilitates an election mid-term of the tenure of the higher office.
- House elections are scheduled to be held in the middle of the President's own five-year term.
