Elections happened on November 6, 2018 to elect 35 class 1 members to the United States Senate. The winners were elected into a six-year term from January 3, 2019, to January 3, 2025.[3][4][5] Two special senate elections were also held on the same day: one in Minnesota after Al Franken resigned and Mississippi after Thad Cochran resigned.

Notes
- ↑ Total of official results for Democratic candidates.
- ↑ Both general election candidates in California were members of the Democratic Party, having won the top two positions in the nonpartisan blanket primary (established by the 2010 California Proposition 14), so all 11.1 million votes in California were counted for Democrats, as tabulated by the Clerk of the House.[1][2] In 2012, the last time a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate appeared on the ballot in California, 12.6 million votes were cast, of which 4.7 million, or 38%, were cast for the Republican candidate.
- ↑ Total of official results for candidates labeled "Independent".
