In each two year election cycle one-third of the United States Senate is up for re-election as each Senator serves a six year term.
In the United States in 2012 23 Democratic seats were up for election and 10 Republican seats. (seats either held by a Democrat or Republican)
The Democrats won all of their seats back and turned two Republican seats into Democratic seats.
Two other seats were won by Independents; one of them previously a Republican seat.
There are now 55 Democratic seats and 45 Republican seats in the United States Senate as the two Independents are caucusing with the Democrats.
