Elections in Michigan |
---|
The Michigan Senate elections of 2018 took place on November 6, 2018, [1] alongside elections to be Michigan's governor, Class I United States Senator, Attorney General, Secretary of State as well elections for Michigan's 14 seats in the United States House of Representatives and all 110 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives; to elect the 38 members that will comprise the Michigan Senate. The Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties chose their nominees in a partisan primary on August 7, 2018. [1] The Working Class Party, U.S. Taxpayers Party, Green Party and Natural Law Party chose their nominees at state party conventions. [2]
Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-year terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-year terms. Michigan has what are considered the toughest term-limits in the country. [3] After the 2018 mid-term elections, nearly 70 percent of the state Senate and 20 percent of the state House will be forced to leave office because of term-limits. [4] The following members are prevented by term-limits from seeking re-election to the Senate in 2018. This list does not include members that are eligible for re-election, but instead chose to seek other office or voluntarily to retire.
Seats where the margin of victory was under 10%:
District 1 • District 2 • District 3 • District 4 • District 5 • District 6 • District 7 • District 8 • District 9 • District 10 • District 11 • District 12 • District 13 • District 14 • District 15 • District 16 • District 17 • District 18 • District 19 • District 20 • District 21 • District 22 • District 23 • District 24 • District 25 • District 26 • District 27 • District 28 • District 29 • District 30 • District 31 • District 32 • District 33 • District 34 • District 35 • District 36 • District 37 • District 38 |

The 1964 United States Senate elections were held on November 3. The 33 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies. They coincided with the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson by an overwhelming majority, to a full term. His Democratic Party picked up a net two seats from the Republicans. As of 2023, this was the last time either party has had a two-thirds majority in the Senate, which would have hypothetically allowed the Senate Democrats to override a veto, propose constitutional amendments, or convict and expel certain officials without any votes from Senate Republicans. In practice, however, internal divisions effectively prevented the Democrats from doing so. The Senate election cycle coincided with Democratic gains in the House in the same year.
