Terms of Members
All members of the House of Representatives are elected to a two-year term without term limits.
The Senate's term cycle is staggered. In order to avoid complete turnovers in Senate membership (except after an intervening Census), not all districts elect senators simultaneously. Every Senate district elects its members to serve two four-year terms and one two-year term per decade. The placement of the two-year term in the decade varies from one district to another, with each district's terms defined as 2-4-4, 4-2-4, or 4-4-2. Similar to the House, Senators are also elected without term limits.
