Oh yes, they can be quite quick.  The election is called (they aren't at fixed times), and we have some annoying TV ads for several weeks, and thats it.  We usually find out within a day or two who has one an thats it.  We had the election Saturday, and by Saturday night it was clear who had won.

Thats it.
