Those Senators who were elected in 2002 will be seeking re-election (or retiring) in 2008. The U.S. presidential election, 2008 and U.S. House election, 2008, will occur on the same date, as well as many state and local elections. Major Parties The composition of the Senate going into the 2008 election will depend on the results of the 2006 election. Of the seats up for election, 21 are held by Republicans and 12 by Democrats.

If Senators in other classes die or resign between 2006 and 2008, there may be additional special elections in 2008. The dates between which the death or resignation of a Senator would lead a special election in 2008 vary from state to state. Senate contests in 2008 See also
