Everything about Classes of United States senators
Cohorts of Senate seats whose holders will be elected in a given year
The 100 seats in the United States Senate are divided into three classes for the purpose of determining which seats will be up for election in any two-year cycle, with only one class being up for election at a time. With senators being elected to fixed terms of six years, the classes allow about a third of the seats to be up for election in any presidential or midterm election year instead of having all 100 be up for election at the same time every six years. The seats are also divided in such a way that any given state's two senators are in different classes so that each seat's term ends in different years. Class 1 and class 2 consist of 33 seats each, while class 3 consists of 34 seats. Elections for classes 1 and 2 took place in 2024 and 2026 respectively, and elections for class 3 will take place in 2028. Wikipedia →
