Elections

The Michigan State Senate is the upper house of the Michigan State Legislature. It consists of 38 members who are elected from districts having approximately 212,400 to 263,500 residents. The Senate meets at its capitol in Lansing

Senators are elected at the same time as the governor and serve 4-year terms concurrent with the governor's term of office. Senate and gubernatorial elections are offset by two years from U.S. Presidential elections (e.g., Presidential elections were in 2000 and 2004, gubernatorial and senate elections were in 2002 and 2006). Terms for senators begin on January 1, following the November general election. Senators who have not served more than half of someone else's Senate term are eligible for two full terms (i.e. - eight years).

Party balance

As of the term that began in January of 2009, Republicans hold a majority with 21 seats, and Democrats hold 17 seats in the Michigan Senate.
