I think the election is either the first Tuesday in November or November 4th, I don't remember. (looking it up, they appear to be one and the same, which makes it easy to remember this year.) The race has only just officially started! (Not that you'd be able to tell... )
The pageantry and hoo-hah is entertaining to watch from afar but the whole country gets way to wrapped up in it. It was a tremendous relief to move to Canada where they can call a snap election and campaigns last three weeks or something blessedly short like that, and you don't get 18 months of primaries, infighting, and character assassination.
