Seats show only the mandates reported for this election, not the full Senate. In 1961 all 150 popularly elected seats were contested; later contests renewed one geographic cohort and, where included in the source table, vacant seats. Presidential appointees and lifetime members are outside these popular-vote result rows. Turnout applies only to the voting constituencies. Votes follow the detailed historical compilation; no independent district-by-district recount is claimed. Previous seats are blank because an exact outgoing-cohort allocation has not been established. A missing comparison is not zero.
