Background
In the previous state Senate election (2020), the Democrats increased their majority to 5 seats. Therefore, for Democrats to lose their absolute majority in the Senate in this election, Republicans and other parties would need to gain at least 3 more seats.
This will be the first election with the districts drawn based on the 2020 census.[3]
