Members of the Oregon State Senate are elected from single-member districts by first-past-the-post voting to four-year terms with staggered elections.

Contested nominations of the Democratic and Republican parties for each district were determined by an open primary election.

Minor-party and independent candidates were nominated by petition, and write-in candidates had to file a request with the Secretary of State's office for votes for them to be counted.
