Although a Senator serves a 6 year term of office, there are senatorial elections every 2 years, because Senators are not all elected at the same time; one third of the Senate is up for re-election in any given election.
In any given state, there should be two senate elections every six years. They may occur more often if a senator dies or resigns while in office, depending on exactly how your particular state chooses replacement senators.
