I think you mean 5, not 4.

> The only possible way to vote earlier is when a government falls and they write out new elections but that is extremely rare.

It's not rare in many other EU countries - and even when there are no "snap" elections the there may be some flexibility about the timeline of the "standard" ones. I'm not sure that "fixed schedule is the case for most EU countries" is a good description, compared to the US where the exact date is known.
