The 2018 Vermont State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Vermont voters elected State Senators in all 30 seats. State senators serve two-year terms in the Vermont Senate. A primary election on August 14, 2018 determined which candidates appeared on the November 6 general election ballot.
Following the 2016 State Senate elections, Democrats maintained effective control of the Senate with 23 members in the majority caucus (21 Democrats and 2 Progressives). To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans would have needed to net gain 8 or 9 seats depending on the winner of the 2018 Vermont Lieutenant Governor election, which was Progressive Dave Zuckerman. However, in the elections, the Democrats instead gained one seat. from the Republicans.
