There are 16 Democratic-held senate seats up for election in 2024, 3 Republican-held seats, and 1 open seat with no incumbent. Because two Democratic incumbents were drawn into the same district during redistricting (Dave Min and Josh Newman in the 37th district), Democrats will have a net loss of one seat unless they win the open district. Republicans would need a net gain of at least 13 seats in order to flip the chamber, though they only need to flip five seats in order to break the Democrats' supermajority.
Democrats
- 3rd: Bill Dodd is term-limited.
- 5th: Susan Eggman is term-limited.
- 7th: Nancy Skinner is term-limited.
- 9th: Steve Glazer is retiring.[2]
