The 30 members of the Oregon State Senate are elected to four-year terms, and only half of those seats (15) are up for election every two years. In addition to these 15 regular elections, there were two special elections to determine who would complete the four-year terms of Senators that were replaced during the first half of their term. These 17 seats up for election were represented by 10 Democrats and 7 Republicans. The Democrats decreased their advantage over Republicans from 18–12 to 17–13 in the 2016 election.
