The 2016 South Carolina Senate elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. South Carolina voters elected state senators in all 46 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the South Carolina Senate, with all the up for election each cycle.
The primary election was on June 14, 2016, and the primary runoff on June 28, 2016, determined which candidates appeared on the November 8, 2016 general election ballot. [1]
Following the 2012 state senate elections, Republicans maintained effective control of the Senate with 28 members. To reclaim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to gain 6 Senate seats. Republicans retained control of the South Carolina Senate following the 2016 general election and the overall numerical composition of the chamber was unaltered.

District 45 (October 20, 2015)
[edit]The District 45 seat was left vacant after Reverend Clementa C. Pickney was murdered during the Charleston church massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

District 2
[edit]District 2 consists of parts of Pickens County. During the Republican primary, incumbent Larry Martin was challenged by three other Republicans, Rex Rice, Dos Joslyn, and Allan Quinn. Initially, Martin came in first with Rice lagging more than 10 percentage points behind. However, since no candidate received a majority of the votes, the election went to a runoff between Martin and Rice. The result was a surprising upset in which Rice defeated Martin, capping his Senate career at 24 years.[19][20] Martin's loss was attributed to a combination of factors including anti-incumbency fervor and dark money political action committees.[21] In the general election, Rice ran unopposed and was subsequently elected to the Senate.
