The 1910–11 United States Senate election were held on various dates in various states. As these U.S. Senate elections were prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913,senators were primarily chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1910 and 1911,and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock. However,some states had already begun direct elections during this time. Oregon pioneered direct election and experimented with different measures over several years until it succeeded in 1907. Soon after,Nebraska followed suit and laid the foundation for other states to adopt measures reflecting the people's will. By 1912,as many as 29 states elected senators either as nominees of their party's primary or in conjunction with a general election.
