The Senate is elected every 6 years and the Senate is divided into classes so a third is up for election at any one time. Only the House has a 2 year term.

How often do voters elect members of the Senate?

A Senator holds his/her seat for six years, but elections are held every two years. This process divides the Senate into three groups, resulting in the reelection of one of the three groups (one-third of the Senate) at a time. By doing so, the Senate is sure to maintain experienced senators as new ones (aka "Freshmen Senators") replace the old ones. I believe the elections are staggered because the Founding Fathers were concerned about the possibility of replacing all seasoned Senators with totally new ones, something that may have been more feasible when the country had only 13 states (26 senators).
