A state could elect senators and representatives after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788, which established the framework for the federal government. Senators were to be elected by state legislatures until the 17th Amendment was ratified in 1913, allowing for direct election by the people. Representatives have always been directly elected by the voters in their districts since the Constitution's inception. Each state determines its own election processes and timelines for these elections.
