In the elections, 34 of the 100 seats—all Class 3 Senate seats—were contested in regular elections; the winners served 6-year terms until January 3, 2023. Class 3 was last up for election in 2010, when Republicans won a net gain of 6 seats.

In 2016, Democrats defended 10 seats, while Republicans defended 24 seats. Republicans, having won a majority of seats in the Senate in 2014, held the Senate majority with 54 seats before this election. Although Democrats made a net gain of 2 seats and didn’t lose any of their seats, Republicans retained control of the Senate for the 115th United States Congress. The 2 Democratic gains came from the defeats of incumbents Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Mark Kirk in Illinois by Maggie Hassan and Tammy Duckworth, respectively.

Despite Republicans retaining control of the Senate, 2016 marked the first time since 1986 where Democrats made a net gain of seats in Class 3. This is also the only election cycle since the popular-vote election of senators was mandated by the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 that the winning party in every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election.^[2][3] This feat had nearly been accomplished earlier in 1920, which also involved the Class 3 Senate seats, and nearly repeated in 2020; in both cases, every state, with the exception of Kentucky in 1920 and Maine in 2020, voted for the same party in the presidential election and their Senate election. In addition, this election marked the first time since 2000 in which the party in opposition to the elected or reelected presidential candidate made net gains in the Senate; both cases involved the election of a Republican president and the Democrats making gains in the Senate.

With the retirement of Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer became the Democratic leader after the elections, while Mitch McConnell retained his position as Senate Majority Leader.

As of 2023, this is last time Republicans won Senate races in Arizona, Georgia, or Pennsylvania. It is also the last election cycle at least until 2026 where there were no special elections.

Results summary

Final pre-election predictions

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors used:

• "tossup": no advantage
• "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
• "lean": slight advantage
• "likely" or "favored": significant, but surmountable, advantage
• "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Where a site gives a percentage probability as its primary indicator of expected outcome, the chart below classifies a race as follows:

• Tossup: 50-55%
• Tilt: 56-60%
• Lean: 61-75%
• Likely: 76-93%
• Safe: 94-100%

The New York Times's Upshot gave the Democrats a 60% chance of winning the Senate on August 24, 2016;^[4] on September 23, their model gave Republicans a 58% chance to maintain control.^[5]

Primary dates

This table shows the primary dates for regularly-scheduled elections. It also shows the type of primary.

• "Open" primary: any registered voter can vote in any party's primary
• "Closed" primary, only voters registered with a specific party can vote in that party's primary.
• "Top-two" primary, all candidates run against each other regardless of party affiliation, and the top two candidates advance to the second round of voting. (In Louisiana, a candidate can win the election by winning a majority of the vote in the first round.)
• All of the various other primary types are classified as "hybrid." Alaska in 2008 provides one example of a hybrid primary: The Democratic Party allowed unaffiliated voters to vote in its primary, while the Republican Party only allowed party members to vote in its primary.^[13]

Incumbent Republican Richard Shelby won re-election to a sixth term in office. The primaries were held on March 1. Ron Crumpton, a marijuana legalization activist, was the Democratic nominee.^[16] Shelby won re-election with 63.9% of the vote.

Shelby was first elected to the Senate in 1986 as a Democrat and was easily re-elected in 1992 as such. He switched his party affiliation to Republican on November 9, 1994, one day after the Republicans won control of both houses in the midterm elections. He won his first full term as a Republican in 1998 by a large margin and faced no significant opposition in 2004 or 2010.

Following the divisive Republican primary in Mississippi ahead of the 2014 election in which Senator Thad Cochran was almost defeated, it had been speculated^{[by whom?]} that Shelby could also face a Tea Party primary challenger, due to his lengthy tenure and support for federal largesse. However, that didn't happen, in part due to his large campaign war chest, which stood at $19.4 million as of September 2015.^[16] If Shelby had decided to retire, numerous high-profile Alabama Republicans were speculated to run, including U.S. Representatives Robert Aderholt, Mo Brooks, Bradley Byrne, Gary Palmer, Martha Roby, and Mike Rogers, State Treasurer Young Boozer, State Speaker Mike Hubbard, Lieutenant Governor Kay Ivey, State Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh, Secretary of State John Merrill, U.S. Appeals Court Judge William H. Pryor Jr., former governor Bob Riley, and Attorney General Luther Strange.^[75][76][77] Shelby announced in January 2015 that he would run for re-election.^[78]

until January 3 2023 Class 3 was last up for election in 2010 when Republicans won a net gain of 6 seats In 2016 Democrats defended 10 seats while Republicans defended 24 seats Republicans having won a majority of seats in the Senate in 2014 held the Senate majority with 54 seats before this election Although Democrats made a net gain of 2 seats and didn t lose any of their seats Republicans retained control of the Senate for the 115th United States Congress The 2 Democratic gains came from the defeats of incumbents Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Mark Kirk in Illinois by Maggie Hassan and Tammy Duckworth respectively Despite Republicans retaining control of the Senate 2016 marked the first time since 1986 where Democrats made a net gain of seats in Class 3 This is also the only election cycle since the popular vote election of senators was mandated by the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 that the winning party in every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election 2 3 This feat had nearly been accomplished earlier in 1920 which also involved the Class 3 Senate seats and nearly repeated in 2020 in both cases every state with the exception of Kentucky in 1920 and Maine in 2020 voted for the same party in the presidential election and their Senate election In addition this election marked the first time since 2000 in which the party in opposition to the elected or reelected presidential candidate made net gains in the Senate both cases involved the election of a Republican president and the Democrats making gains in the Senate With the retirement of Harry Reid Chuck Schumer became the Democratic leader after the elections while Mitch McConnell retained his position as Senate Majority Leader As of 2023 this is last time Republicans won Senate races in Arizona Georgia or Pennsylvania It is also the last election cycle at least until 2026 where there were no special elections Contents 1 Results summary 2 Change in

Ron Crumpton a marijuana legalization activist was the Democratic nominee 16 Shelby won re election with 63 9 of the vote Shelby was first elected to the Senate in 1986 as a Democrat and was easily re elected in 1992 as such He switched his party affiliation to Republican on November 9 1994 one day after the Republicans won control of both houses in the midterm elections He won his first full term as a Republican in 1998 by a large margin and faced no significant opposition in 2004 or 2010 Following the divisive Republican primary in Mississippi ahead of the 2014 election in which Senator Thad Cochran was almost defeated it had been speculated by whom that Shelby could also face a Tea Party primary challenger due to his lengthy tenure and support for federal largesse However that didn t happen in part due to his large campaign war chest which stood at 19 4 million as of September 2015 16 If Shelby had decided to retire numerous high profile Alabama Republicans were speculated to run
