Elections to the United States Senate will be held November 6, 2018, with 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections and two seats being contested in special elections. The winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2019, to January 3, 2025. Currently, Democrats have 24 seats up for election, as well as the seats of two independents who caucus with them. Republicans have nine seats up for election. The seats up for regular election in 2018 were last up for election in 2012; in addition, special elections will be scheduled if vacancies occur, as has already happened in Minnesota and Mississippi. After the 2016 elections, some state election officials are trying to upgrade voting systems in time for this election.[3]

The U.S. House of Representatives elections, 39 gubernatorial elections, and many other state and local elections will also be held on this date.

Republicans can only afford to lose one Senate seat and still have a working majority with the Vice President breaking the tie in their favor. Four of the Republican seats are open as a result of retirements in Tennessee, Utah, Arizona, and Mississippi. Democrats are defending ten seats in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, while Republicans are only defending one seat in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Partisan composition

Among the 33 Class 1 Senate seats up for regular election in 2018 are 23 currently held by Democrats, two by independents who caucus with the Senate Democrats, and eight by Republicans. The Class 2 seats in Minnesota and Mississippi held by interim appointees are also up for election.

Most recent election predictions

Democrats are expected to target the Republican-held Senate seats in Arizona (open seat) and Nevada.[6] Democrats could also target seats in Texas,[7] Utah’s open-seat,[8] and Tennessee's open-seat.[9] Republicans are expected to target Democratic-held seats in Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia, all of which voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election and Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election,[10] as well as seats in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, all of which voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election.[11] Republicans could also target seats in Minnesota (at least one of the two seats), Virginia, Maine, and New Jersey.[6] Other races may also become competitive.

Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used sometimes): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely" or "favored": significant but surmountable advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory.
