Senators are elected to represent the entire population of a state in the United States Senate. Each state has two senators serving 6-year terms. In Kansas, one seat is up for election in 2026 and the other in 2028.

Representatives are divided into districts based on population. Most states have more than one district. In Kansas, there are four congressional districts representing four sections of the state in the United States House of Representatives. Each representative serves a 2-year term, and all are up for election in 2024.
