At my local polls, the semiannual elections contain ballots for 5 or six different districts (federal, state, county, town, school district, fire district, police district) as well as referendums on several tax proposals and even things like road improvement projects. The reason that doesn't happen in Australia is because state and federal elections cannot be held on the same day.
