The 2014 West Virginia Senate election took place on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, to elect members to the 82nd and 83rd Legislatures; held concurrently with the U.S. House, and U.S. Senate elections.[1] State senate seats in West Virginia are staggered, with senators serving 4-year terms. 17 of the 34 state senate seats were up for election. The Republicans won in a landslide, flipping 8 Democratic seats and securing a majority in the chamber after the defection of Democratic senator Daniel Hall the day after the election.[2][3]
