senatorial elections
Upper chamber contests
Senatorial elections are elections to choose members of a senate—most commonly the United States Senate, where voters in each state elect two senators to six-year terms.
The term also applies to elections for state senates and senates in other countries.
Midterm senatorial elections often shift the balance of power in Congress.
