A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 2020 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 2, 2020 determined which candidates will appear on the November 3, 2020 general election ballot. The filing deadline was March 13, 2020. The names of primary election candidates who filed to run can be obtained here.[1]

Following the previous election in 2018, Republicans had control of the Iowa state Senate with 32 seats to Democrats' 18 seats.
