the senate elections are held in a staggard fashion which means that only about a third of the senators are elected in each election. so all the seats in the senate are never completely empty. for example, if there were 60 senators for example, 30 senators are in the election this year, while the other 30 will be in the election a couple years from now. these two groups rotate.
