states
senators normally serve fixed six-year terms (from 1 july to 30 june). at most federal elections, the seats of 40 of the 76 senators (half of the 72 senators from the six states and all four of the senators from the territories) are contested, along with the entire house of representatives; such an election is sometimes known as a half-senate election. the seats of senators elected at a half-senate election are not contested at the next election, provided it is a half-senate election. however, under some circumstances, the entire senate (and the house of representatives) is dissolved early, in what is known as a double dissolution. following a double dissolution, half the senators representing states serve terms ending on the third 30 june following the election (two to three years) and the rest serve a five to six year term. section 13 of the constitution requires the senate to allocate long and short terms amongst its members. the term of senators representing a territory expires at the same time as there is an election for the house of representatives. while there is no constitutional requirement for the election of senators to take place at the same time as those for members of the house of representatives, the government usually synchronises the dates of elections for the senate and house of representatives.
