The 6th Farun Senate, met from August 13, 2024 to September 8, 2024, in the Urbis Capitol Building, following the prior southern circuit elections. The Supreme Court apportioned two additional seats to the senate, making district 4 now district 6 and district 6 now district 8, with district 4 and 6 being new, the latter being a special "party list seat". No party reached a majority in this senate, but thanks to the support of the Shield Party and sometimes independents, the New Laborites managed to remain in government.

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.

Membership Changes
On August 18, senator Van Der Waal was recalled with a 100% of district 5 residents voting to recall him. Senator Cranberry was elected under the shield party banner, however he was quickly expelled for his personal views and served his term as an independent. He later died under dubious circumstances, his vacancy not being filled until the middle of the following senate.
