1970 Australian Senate election

An election was held on 21 November 1970 for 32 of the 60 seats in the Australian Senate. It is the most recent occasion on which a Senate election has been held without an accompanying election for the House of Representatives.

The election cycle for each house of the federal parliament had been out of synchronisation since prime minister Robert Menzies called the 1963 election for the House of Representatives a year ahead of schedule.
