The election will coincide with United States national elections and Missouri state elections, including U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Missouri House.[4]
Following the previous election in 2022, Republicans held a 24-to-10-seat supermajority over Democrats.[5] Going into the 2024 elections, there are three vacancies after Senator Greg Razer (D) of District 7 resigned on April 25, 2024 and Senators Karla Eslinger (R) of District 33 and John Rizzo (D) of District 11 resigned in June 2024.[6][7][8] Therefore, there are 23 Republicans and eight Democrats at the time of the 2024 election (plus the three vacancies). Democrats would have to net 10 seats to flip control of the chamber.[1]
These will be the first elections in the odd-numbered Missouri Senate districts following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.[9][10]
