You should at least keep up enough to make informed choices when you vote.
Yup, unfortunately that only happens every 4-5 years...
There are other elections throughout the year... Midterms at the federal level, and often state and local elections too.
Admittedly how it works in the US, but I'm sure still applies in other countries, maybe not everywhere.
I used to live in a country where they would just bunch them all together: local, country, EU all in one day. Kind of sad, because it gives the impression that your vote only counts once in a few year, as I said in my previous comment. No midterms.
