Contents

A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1926 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 7, 1926 determined which candidates appeared on the November 2, 1926 general election ballot. [1] [2]

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa state Senate with 45 seats, the Democrats had 4 seats, and 1 seat was held by an independent.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1926 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 49 seats and Democrats having 1 seat (a net gain of 4 seats for Republicans). Like 6 years prior, Democrats lost every district up for election, including four held by them. After the election, Lloyd Ellis of the 3rd Senate District was the only Democrat in the chamber.
