==Re-election and terms==
==Re-election and terms==
At every federal election their are 40 Senators up for re-election. This is comprised of 6 from each state and 2 from each territory. Senators serve terms of 6 years which is double what House of Representative members serve. A double-dissolution election can be called if there is deadlock in the Senate and the last time this occurred was during the Whitlam era nearly 40 years ago.
