The 2010 Hawaii Senate election was held on November 2, 2010, to determine which party would control the Hawaii Senate for the following two years in the 26th Hawaii State Legislature. Fifteen seats were up for election and the primary was held on September 18, 2010. Prior to the election, 23 seats were held by Democrats and 2 seats were held by Republicans. The general election saw the Democrats gain a single seat, thereby retaining control over the Hawaii Senate and reducing the Republican minority to just a single seat.https://ballotpedia.org/Hawaii_State_Senate_elections,_2010 Hawaii State Senate elections, 2010 ballotpedia.org 2025-11-27
