No, although that's what I thought at first also. It's because it's a frequency, ie the election will now be 1 out of every 4 years, or 1/4 of years will have an election, vs the previous every 1/3 of years.
Another way to think of it is the number of elections that will occur over a very long period of time. Previously 100 elections would take 300 years. Now, in 300 years we'll have 75 elections. (75*4=300). 75 elections is 25% less elections than 100 elections.
