The 2022 Missouri Senate election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 2, 2022. [1] [2] Missouri voters selected state senators in the 17 even-numbered districts of the Senate to serve four-year terms. [3]

Contents

The election coincided with United States national elections and Missouri state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Auditor, and Missouri House. [4] [5]

Following the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 24-to-10-seat supermajority over Democrats. [6] The balance of power remained unchanged with Republicans keeping their supermajority of 24-to-10 over Democrats. [7]

These were the first elections in Missouri following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries. [8] [9]
