2022 Idaho Senate election

The 2022 Idaho State Senate elections took place on November 8, 2022.[1] Primary elections were held on May 17, 2022.[2] Idaho voters elected state senators in all 35 seats of the Senate, electing one state senator and two state representatives in each of the 35 Idaho state legislative districts. State senators serve two-year terms in the Idaho Senate.[3]

The election coincided with United States national elections and Idaho state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Idaho House.[4][5] Since the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 28-to-7-seat supermajority over Democrats. Republicans maintained the same supermajority in 2022, winning 28 seats.[6]

These were the first elections in Idaho following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in some members being assigned to new districts.[7][8][9]
