The 6th Farun Senate, met from August 13, 2024 to September 8, 2024, in the Urbis Capitol Building, following the prior southern circuit elections.

Members
Key: New Farun Labor, Farun Shield Party, Independents, Liberal-Conservative Party
The 6th Farun Senate was elected following the latest southern circuit elections, and thus only the southern senators were replaced, as well as two senators added, with the new 4th district senator and 1st list senators being elected. During this term, the district 5 senator was recalled, being left vacant until the following northern circuit elections.
|
Senators were elected in staggered terms of eight weeks, meaning that the southern senators were meant to serve until the 8th senate, and the northern senators until the 7th senate. The district 2 election was nullified after the "against" option won, leaving the seat vacant until August 17 where Aleksandr Novak was elected.
