Members of the Ohio Senate are limited to two consecutive four-year elected terms. Service to fill out another member's uncompleted term does not count against the term limits. There are 33 members elected from individual districts. The current party distribution is 21 Republicans and 12 Democrats . Each Senator represents approximately 330,000 constituents. In 2004, the even-numbered seats were up for re-election. Republicans retained four open seats (in the 4th district, 8th district, 14th district, and 18th district). Meanwhile, Democrats managed to hold one open seat (30th). In the remaining 11 races, the sitting incumbent was successfully re-elected. No seats changed hands. In the 2006 election cycle there were a total of 9 open seats (the 1st, 12th, 13th, 21st, 25th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, and 33rd districts) due to term limits or members running for another office. Republicans held 4 of the 9 seats and Democrats held 5. Of those 9 seats only one seat was turned over to the Democrats from the Republicans ( Jeffery J. Armbruster , Republican , from the 13th district was term limited and the seat is now held by Sue Morano , Democrat .)
