is scheduled for November 3, 2020 where the members of the 27th Senate of Puerto Rico will be elected. Members of the Senate are elected for a four-year term. Tony Fas Alzamora is the most senior and longest-serving senator, having served for nine consecutive terms since 1981 for a total of years. Only American citizens (including Puerto Ricans) that meet all the following requirements may vote for senators: must legally reside in Puerto Rico, must be at least 18 years old by the date of the election, must have been qualified by the Puerto Rico State Commission on Elections before the election or on the very same day of the election after he presents himself to his nearest place of voting and shows proper documentation, and must have not been declared mentally incapacitated by court.

Ballots are redacted in both Spanish and English, regardless of whether English is an official language or not. To elect the members of the Senate, Puerto Rico is divided into eight senatorial districts, each based on a similar number of inhabitants: These districts are in turn divided into one or more precincts: electoral divisions which are in turn divided into the aforementioned colleges. For each district, citizens may vote only for the district in which they have declared their residence, and only for two candidates per district by plurality-at-large. The two candidates with the highest votes in the respective district serve as senators for that specific district. District senators are expected to give priority to matters related to the district they represent but are not required to do so by law. In addition, citizens are allowed to
