Senate Classes: Terms of Service
TCNSC.com or SenateClasses.com

The Constitution provides that senators are elected to six-year terms, and that one-third of the senators are to be elected every two years "divided as equally as may be into three Classes." (Article I, Section 3, clause 2.) A class is the approximately one-third of the Senate elected in the same general election held in even years, which term begins the following year (e.g., the Senate term for a senator elected in November 2016 begins in January 2017 (in the first session of the 114th Congress) and ends in January 2023 (after the end of the 117th Congress). Senate terms of Senators appointed or elected to fill vacant Senate seats generally last through the end of the term of the senator being replaced. The replacement procedure is outlined by the 17th Amendment, and varies by state.
