One seat flipped from Republican to Democratic, resulting in a Democratic majority of 24–12 in the Senate chamber. This made up for the Democratic loss in the 2021 special election in District 36, resulting in the same senate composition following the 2020 senate election.
A special election in District 36 was held on August 17, 2021, to fill the vacancy left by Democrat Alex Kasser, who resigned effective June 22, 2021. Kasser cited her ongoing divorce proceedings as the reason for her resignation.[10] Republican candidate Ryan Fazio was elected after defeating Democratic candidate Alexis Gevanter and Independent candidate John Blankley, flipping the seat from Democratic to Republican, resulting in a Democratic majority of 23-13 prior to the 2022 senate election.
Seven incumbent senators, Steve Cassano (D-4th), Kevin Witkos (R-8th), Mary Daugherty Abrams (D-13th), Paul Formica (R-20th), Will Haskell (D-26th), Craig Miner (R-30th), Dan Champagne (R-35th), did not attempt to run for reelection. One incumbent, Dennis Bradley (D-23rd), was defeated in the primaries.[11]
