Iowa voters elected state senators in 35 of the state senate's 50 districts—all 25 of the odd-numbered seats were up for regularly-scheduled elections and, due to the oddities of redistricting following the 2000 Census, 10 of the even-numbered sears were up as well. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats traditionally up for election each cycle.
The 1972 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1972 United States elections. 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.
