        USA: 9 525 067 km²

        France: 549 087 km² (5.7% of USA)

        UK: 243 610 km² (2.6% of USA)

        There’s a reason why the last two can easily be covered in two weeks of electoral campaigning. They are small.

          Again, no. Your perspective is skewed. You’re comparing a gigantic country with two of pretty regular size compared to most countries and drawing the false conclusion that it’s the latter that are abnormal.

          Besides, it’s absolutely not necessary to do a physical tour of the country. Multiple types of mass media exist to eliminate that outdated form of outreach.

            There are electors who are catered to by going to see them in person, they won’t vote for you if you don’t show up in their State or even in their city.

            I never said they’re abnormal, I said their small compared to the USA and that is therefore not surprising that they can hold an election in less than a month.
