Constitution requires the Senate to be divided into three classes for purposes of elections. Senators are elected to six-year terms, and every two years the members of one class—approximately one-third of the senators—face election or reelection.
The class II Senators face elections this year, as the terms for Class I expires in 2025, and Class III in 2023.
