Iowa voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts\u2014the 25 odd-numbered state senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats up for election each cycle. A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 1978 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here. The primary election on June 6, 1978 determined which candidates appeared on the November 7, 1978 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained here. General election results can be obtained here. Following the previous election in 1976, Democrats had control of the Iowa state Senate with 26 seats to Republicans' 24 seats. To take control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 2 Senate seats. Republicans flipped control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1978 general election, with Republicans claiming 28 seats and Democrats falling to 22 seats after the election (a net gain of 4 seats for the Republicans)."@en .
