The 1942 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1942 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 23 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.
A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1942 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 1, 1942 determined which candidates appeared on the November 3, 1942 general election ballot.[1][2]
Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa state Senate with 45 seats to Democrats' 5 seats.
To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 21 Senate seats.
Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1942 general election with the balance of power remaining unchanged with Republicans holding 45 seats and Democrats having 5 seats.
