Iowa voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts—the 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 1986 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here. The primary election on June 3, 1986, determined which candidates appeared on the November 4, 1986 general election ballot.

To take control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 5 Senate seats. Democrats expanded their control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1986 general election, with Democrats holding 30 seats and Republicans having 20 seats after the election (a net gain of 1 seat for the Democrats).
