The '''1918 United States Senate elections''' were held throughout 1918,{{efn | name=Dates}} the midpoint of [[Woodrow Wilson]]'s second term as [[President of the United States|president]]. This was the first election since the enactment of the [[RepublicanSeventeenth Amendment to Partythe (United States) Constitution|RepublicanSeventeenth Amendment]]s gainedthat aall slim32 [[Classes of United States senators|Class 2-seat]] controlsenators afterwere pickingsubject upto adirect netor 6popular seatselection, (4making inthem generalthe electionsfinal andclass 2under inthe specialold system of being selected by state legislatures. Special elections) were also held to fill vacancies.
 
[[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]s gained a slim 2-seat control after picking up a net 6 seats. This came after an April 1918 special election where they flipped a seat in Wisconsin.
The change in control meant that the Republicans could deny entry of the United States into the [[League of Nations]]. American participation in this new international institution was the centerpiece of Wilson's post-war foreign policy.
 
It was the first election in which all Class 2 senators were subject to direct or popular election following the enactment of the [[Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Seventeenth Amendment]], making them the final class under the old system.
