The2018 Alabama Senate elections took place on November 3, 2018, as part of the2018 United States elections.Alabama voters elected state senators in all 35 of the state's Senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in theAlabama Senate.^[1]

A primary election on June 5, 2018, and a runoff election on July 17, 2018, determined which candidates would appear on the November 6general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained from theAlabama Secretary of State's website.^[2]

Following the 2014 state Senate elections,Republicans maintained effective control of the House with a 27-seat majority—26 Republican members and onw independent who caucuses with the Republicans.Democrats held eight seats following the 2014 elections.

To claim control of the chamber fromRepublicans, theDemocrats would have needed to gain 10 Senate seats.

The election resulted in the Republican Party holding all previously held seats and taking a seat previously held by an independent who caucused with the Republicans, leading to no effective shift in control of the chamber. The Republicans also gained slightly in the popular vote compared to the 2014 elections.
