A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1922 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 5, 1922 determined which candidates appeared on the November 7, 1922 general election ballot. [1] [2]

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 48 seats to Democrats' 2 seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1922 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 47 seats and Democrats having 3 seats (a net gain of 1 seat for Democrats). The death of Republican Senator D. C. Chase of district 37 necessitated a special election on March 31, 1923. Democrat William Schmedika went on to win that special election, flipping the seat to Democrats and increasing Democrats' seats to 4 in 1923.

Iowa voters elected state senators in all of the state senate's 50 districts—the 25 even-numbered seats were up for regularly-scheduled four-year terms and, due to the oddities of redistricting following the 1970 Census, the 25 odd-numbered seats were up for shortened two-year terms.
