And here you see the problem in the US having a fixed inauguration date.

In parliamentary countries, where the government can vote to dissolve itself, they tend to call for elections whenever the governing coalition is unstable, and elections can take as long as needed, and be re-held as needed.



True, although my main concern is that making elections take even longer will cause fewer people to pay attention and ultimately vote.
