In my opinion, the way around this problem is to set fixed terms for 
elections.

The State of Connecticut had early elections for its legislature in May and 
November for many years (i.e. 6 month terms).

Many so-called *modern* regimes in the U.S.A. have 4 year terms for many 
state senates (upper houses of State legislatures) and even some state 
representatives (lower houses of State legislatures) and many local 
government legislative bodies -- a very dangerous trend.

The 6 year term for U.S. Senators makes the U.S.A. Senate very elitist and 
non-responsive.

Since it is the voters who elect legislative bodies, it should be the voters 
who have the power to have recall elections for legislative bodies (via 
recall petitions).
