The 2024
Missouri Senate election will take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, with the primary election to be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
[3]
[4]
Missouri voters will select state senators in the 17 odd-numbered districts of the
Senate to serve four-year terms.
[5]
The election will coincide with
United States national elections and Missouri state elections, including
U.S. President ,
U.S. Senate ,
U.S. House ,
Governor , and
Missouri House .
[6]
Following the
previous election in 2022 ,
Republicans held a 24-to-10-seat supermajority over
Democrats .
[7] Going into the 2024 elections, there are two vacancies after Senator
Greg Razer (D) of District 7 resigned on April 25, 2024 and Senator
Karla Eslinger (R) of District 33 resigned in June 2024.
[2]
[1] Therefore, there are 23 Republicans and nine Democrats at the time of the 2024 election (plus the two vacancies).
Democrats would have to net 9 seats to flip control of the chamber.
[3]
These will be the first elections in the odd-numbered Missouri Senate districts following the
2020 United States redistricting cycle , which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.
