The 2024 Rhode Island State Senate elections took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The primary election was held on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.[1] Rhode Island voters elected state senators in all 38 seats of the Senate to serve two-year terms.[2]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Rhode Island state elections, including U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Rhode Island House.[3]
Following the previous election in 2022, Democrats held a 33-to-5-seat supermajority over Republicans. However, Democrat Frank Lombardo died on February 21, 2024,[4] and Democrat Sandra Cano resigned on September 12, 2024.[5] Therefore, going into the election, Democrats held a supermajority of 31 seats compared to the five seats held by Republicans.[3]
