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 1990 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here. The primary election on June 5, 1990, determined which candidates appeared on the November 6, 1990 general election ballot.

Starting on January 14, 1991, with the enactment of Article IV, section 18, of the Constitution of Iowa, the duties of Iowa's Lieutenant Governor no longer include presiding over the state Senate.https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/BHT/1047920.pdf Presidents of the Senate Iowa General Assembly April 17, 2020 October 14, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191014193054/https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/BHT/1047920.pdf dead The Majority Leader was instead the sitting Senate member who led the larger party. Following 1991, the President of the Iowa Senate would become a sitting member of the Senate. Following the previous election in 1988, Democrats had control of the Iowa state Senate with 30 seats to Republicans' 20 seats. To take control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 6 Senate seats. Democrats kept their control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1990 general election, with Democrats holding 28 seats and Republicans having 22 seats after the election (a net gain of 2 seats for the Republicans).
