Elections for the Senate of Pakistan were held on 2 April 2024.[1][2] Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were postponed by the ECP.

After the merger of FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the remaining 4 out of 8 seats were also abolished.[3] 48 seats from four Provinces and the Federal Capital were up for election, including the seats for which the election was postponed.
