Elections in Iowa |
---|
The 1984 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1984 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts—the 25 even-numbered state senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats up for election each cycle. A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 1984 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 5, 1984, determined which candidates appeared on the November 6, 1984 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained here. [1] General election results can be obtained here. [2]
Following the previous election, Democrats had control of the Iowa state Senate with 28 seats to Republicans' 22 seats.
To take control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 4 Senate seats.
Democrats expanded their control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1984 general election with the balance of power shifting to Democrats holding 29 seats and Republicans having 21 seats (a net gain of 1 seat for the Democrats).
