2022 US Senate Elections

The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 3 senators, who were last elected in 2016, will be up for election again in 2022.

Five Republican senators, Richard Shelby, Richard Burr, Rob Portman, John McCain, Chuck Grassley as well as three Democratic senators, Patrick Leahy, Blanche Lincoln, Russ Feingold have announced that they are not seeking re-election; 15 Republicans and 13 Democrats are running for re-election.

This will be the first time in U.S. history in which multiple Senate races in the same year are contested between two African-American nominees (Georgia and South Carolina). Three previous elections have taken place with two major-party African-American candidates.
