The 1974 United States Senate elections were held on November 5,with the 34 seats of Class 3 contested in regular elections. They occurred in the wake of the Watergate scandal,Richard M. Nixon's resignation from the presidency,and Gerald Ford's subsequent pardon of Nixon. Economic issues,specifically inflation and stagnation,were also a factor that contributed to Republican losses. As an immediate result of the November 1974 elections,Democrats made a net gain of three seats from the Republicans,as they defeated Republican incumbents in Colorado and Kentucky and picked up open seats in Florida and Vermont,while Republicans won the open seat in Nevada. Following the elections,at the beginning of the 94th U.S. Congress,the Democratic caucus controlled 60 seats,and the Republican caucus controlled 38 seats.

In 2023,various special elections were held throughout the year in New Hampshire, mostly to the state's House of Representatives. At 400 members,the state house is the largest state legislative body in the United States,and the fourth largest lower house in the English-speaking world. As members are only paid $100 per year plus travel costs,turnover tends to be frequent,as members resign or die mid-term,resulting in a special election to replace them. According to the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire,if there is a vacancy in the New Hampshire General Court,a special election must be called to fill the vacant seat within 21 days of receiving proof of a vacancy or a request that a vacancy be filled.
