The 1824–25 United States Senate Elections were held on various dates in various states. As these U.S. Senate elections were prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, senators were chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1824 and 1825, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock.[1] In these elections, terms were up for the senators in Class 3.
Incumbent resigned December 10, 1823 to become U.S. Minister to France. Successor elected January 15, 1824.[4] Democratic-Republican hold. Successor later re-elected, see below.
Unknown if incumbent retired or lost re-election. Successor elected in 1825 on the forty-first ballot.[a][17] Jacksonian gain. Successor seated late March 16, 1825.
Incumbent Democratic-Republican James Brown resigned on December 10, 1823 to become the U.S. Minister to France. A special election was held on January 15, 1824. Both candidates were Democratic-Republicans but were split over loyalties to Andrew Jackson. The Anti-Jacksonian, former congressman Josiah S. Johnston narrowly defeated Jacksonian congressman Edward Livingston.
