The Alabama State Senate is the upper house of the Alabama Legislature, the state legislature of Alabama. There are 35 state senators; they represent 35 districts each composed of around 127,140 residents.

Alabama's senators serve without term limits for four-year terms.

The criteria for senators under Article IV, Section 47, of the Alabama Constitution include: at least 25 years of age at the time of their election, a citizen and resident of the State of Alabama for at least 3 years, and resident of their district for at least one year prior to election.

The Lieutenant Governor of Alabama is the ex officio President of the Senate, and can cast a vote on senatorial business in the case of a tie.[1]
