The 2024 California State Senate election took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, with the primary election being held on March 5, 2024. Voters in the 20 odd-numbered districts of the California State Senate will elect their representatives. The elections will coincide with the elections for other offices, including the state Assembly.[1]
There are 16 Democratic-held senate seats up for election in 2024, 3 Republican-held seats, and 1 open seat with no incumbent. Because two Democratic incumbents were drawn into the same district during redistricting (Dave Min and Josh Newman in the 37th district), Democrats will have a net loss of one seat unless they win the open district. Republicans would need a net gain of at least 12 seats in order to flip the chamber, though they only need to flip five seats in order to break the Democrats' supermajority.
