235: 222: 702:(5.) Where, since the election of senators for a State following a dissolution of the Senate but before the division of the senators for that State into classes in pursuance of this section, the place of a senator chosen at that election has become vacant, the division of senators shall be made as if the place of that senator had not so become vacant and, for the purposes of section fifteen of this Constitution, the term of service of that senator shall be deemed to be, and to have been, the period for which he would have held his place, in accordance with this section, if his place had not become vacant. 1372: 30: 757:(8.) For the purposes of the election, in accordance with the second paragraph of section fifteen of this Constitution, of a successor to a senator chosen by the people of a State, before the commencement of this section, for a term expiring after that commencement but whose place became vacant before that commencement, that senator shall be deemed to have been elected for a term expiring at the time when his term would have expired by virtue of sub-section (6.) of this section if his place had not become vacant. 115: 686:, as nearly equal in number as practicable; and the places of the senators of the first class shall become vacant at the expiration of the third year three years, and the places of those of the second class at the expiration of the sixth year six years, from the beginning of their term of service; and afterwards the places of senators shall become vacant at the expiration of six years from the beginning of their term of service 137: 752:(7.) A senator holding office at the commencement of this section under the first paragraph of section fifteen of this Constitution shall hold office until the expiry or dissolution of the first House of Representatives to expire or be dissolved after that commencement unless, being a senator appointed by the Governor of the State, he is sooner replaced by a person chosen by the Parliament of a State under that paragraph. 809:: approved by a majority of states (i.e., four of the six states) as well as a majority of those voting nationwide. This was the fourth of five referendums (as of October 2021) to achieve an overall majority, but fail the requirement of a majority of states. It had the highest percentage approval of any unsuccessful referendum and the margin of failure in the fourth state, Western Australia, was 9,211 votes (1.53%). 712:(a) if his term of service would, under the provisions in force before that commencement, have expired on the thirtieth day of June, One thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight, his term of service shall expire upon the expiry or dissolution of the second House of Representatives to expire or be dissolved after that commencement or, if there is an earlier dissolution of the Senate, upon that dissolution; or 717:(b) if his term of service would, under the provisions in force before that commencement, have expired on the thirtieth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and eighty-one, his term of service shall expire upon the expiry or dissolution of the third House of Representatives to expire or be dissolved after that commencement or, if there is an earlier dissolution of the Senate, upon that dissolution. 306:. Despite the title, the proposal was to change the terms of senators from a fixed 6 years to 2 terms of the House of Representatives. The proposal did not expressly require elections for both houses to be held at the same time, instead it made the terms of Senators the same as for the House of Representatives and would give parliament the power to make laws about the time and places for elections. 774:. But if the Houses of Parliament of the State are not in session at the time when the vacancy is notified, the Governor of the State, with the advice of the Executive Council thereof, may appoint a person to hold the place until the expiration of fourteen days after the beginning of the next session of the Parliament of the State, or 692:(3.) In the case of each State, where the number of senators to be divided is an even number the number of senators in each of the two classes shall be equal and where the number of senators to be divided is an odd number the number of senators in the first class shall be one more than the number in the second class. 327:

For the purposes of this section the term of service of a senator shall be taken to begin on the first day of July following the day of his election, except in the cases of the first election and of the election next after any dissolution of the Senate, when it shall be taken to begin on the first
697:(4.) Sub-section (1.) of this section applies to senators included in the first class, but the term of service of senators included in the second class expires upon the expiry or dissolution of the first House of Representatives to expire or be dissolved after they were chosen. 662:(1.) Subject to this Constitution, the term of service of a senator expires upon the expiry or dissolution of the second House of Representatives to expire or be dissolved after he was chosen or, if there is an earlier dissolution of the Senate, upon that dissolution. 1118: 314:
The Yes case was that because elections for the houses were out of alignment, there could be 4 elections in the next 4 years. If the Senate used its power to force an election, half the senators would also face elections.
766:
If the place of a senator becomes vacant before the expiration of his term of service, the Houses of Parliament of the State for which he was chosen shall, sitting and voting together, choose a person to hold the place
