Elections in Maryland |

Government |
The 1982 Maryland Senate elections were held on November 2, 1982, as part of the 1982 United States elections, including the 1982 Maryland gubernatorial election. All 47 of Maryland's state senators were up for reelection.
Leading up to the 1982 elections, Republicans were hopeful to gain seats in the legislature, citing Lawrence Hogan and Robert A. Pascal leading the party's ticket in the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections, and Ronald Reagan's strong performance in the state during the 1980 United States presidential election and subsequent legislative accomplishments. However, the elections provided to be a major setback for the party as Democrats were able to gain one seat from the Republicans in the state Senate, and Hogan and Pascal lost their elections in landslides.[1]
Seats where the margin of victory was under 10%:
All election results are from the 1983-1984 edition of the Maryland Manual.[14]
