Result of the elections:
  Libcon hold
  Reform hold
  New Labor hold
  Libertarian gain

The elections mostly re-enforced the status-quo of the republic, with the Libcons and New Labor holding their pre-election position, while Reform lost a seat at the expense of the new Libertarian Party. Many races were competitive, and turnout for usually less involved districts such as Jungle and Frontier was higher than expected.

The Markarth district had five total Senate candidates, with two of them being Libertarians and three being Independents, which was and is unusual for Senate elections, as parties usually avoid running multiple candidates in one singular district.
