Throughout world history there have been thousands and thousands of elections. Everything from class presidents in schools to heads of states in countries. To take just one type of election in one country, there have been 57 U.S. Presidential elections, and the U.S. has had 44 Presidents. Other countries have had more elections. Then you have elections for all sorts of other positions in countries, towns, cities, organisations etc. So it would not be known how many elections there have been.
Senators serve six-year terms, but elections are staggered so that no more than one-third of the senators are up for reelection at any one time. This ensures a certain amount of stability and continuity.
