How many election types?

How many different types of elections are you able to vote in where you live? Because apparently, in the USA, you vote for a load more positions than we do and I am interested to know the specifics


For me, I am able to vote in (I have tweaked the technical names so you can understand what I'm going on about):

Local Council Election.
Member of the UK Parliament Election.
European Union Parliament Election.

Just a few of whats on our ballot.

Governor
Secretary of State
Attorney general
District Reps
County commissioner
Senator

We also have a couple of initiatives that they are trying to pass.

One is to disallow any felon from running for office for no less then 20 years.

The other is to allow our state to re-write our constitution.

Is that a popular saying? Because I think my teacher said that phrase last lesson.
