Composition

The composition of the Senate going into the 2014 election will depend on the results of the 2010 and 2012 elections. Among the Senators up for election in 2014, there will be 19 Democrats, 13 Republicans, and 1 to be determined by a special election in 2010.

There may be some additional changes if Senators die or resign. If Senators in other classes die or resign between 2010 and 2014, there may be additional special elections between the beginning of the 111th Congress (on January 3, 2009), and the 2012 election. The dates between which the death or resignation of a Senator would lead a special election during this time period vary from state to state.
