The Michigan Senate elections of 2022 is scheduled to take place November 8, 2022 to elect all 38 members to the Michigan Senate. The election will coincide with elections for all of Michigan's constitutional offices; Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State and all 110 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives.[1] Seats in the Michigan Senate were last elected in 2018.
Background[]
This is will be the first election to take place after redistricting based on the 2020 United States census. Following a voter-passed constitutional amendment in 2018, the state legislature will no longer create legislative and congressional districts and will be replaced by Michigan's Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, a 13-member bipartisan committee.[2]
Term-limited members[]
Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-year terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-year terms. Michigan has what is considered the toughest term limits in the country.[3] The following members are prevented by term limits from seeking re-election to the Senate in 2022. This list does not include members that are eligible for re-election, but instead to seek other office or voluntarily retire.
