Results of the elections: Democratic gain Republican gain Democratic hold Republican hold No election
The 2022 Oregon State Senate election were held in the
U.S. state of
Oregon on November 8, 2022, to elect 15 of the 30 members of the
State Senate of the 82nd Oregon Legislature, along with one
special election .
A
primary election was held in several districts on May 17, 2022.
[1] The election coincided with the election of the other house of the
Legislative Assembly , the
Oregon House of Representatives , and
other elections .
Background
The
last election in 2020 resulted in the
Democratic Party retaining a majority of seats,
[2] after winning a majority and ending a split State Senate sixteen years earlier in the 2004 election. All-Democratic control of the legislature (and a state
trifecta ) has persisted since
2012 .
[3]
Electoral system
The 15 members of the Senate up for election were elected from
single-member districts via
first-past-the-post voting for four-year terms.
Contested nominations of recognized major parties (
Democratic and
Republican ) for each district were determined by a
primary election on May 17, 2022.
Minor party candidates were nominated by petition.
Write-in candidates must file a request with the
Secretary of State 's office for votes for them to be counted. Candidates for the state Senate in 2022 were required to file to run from September 10, 2021, to March 8, 2022.
