===Florencia===
===Benito===
[[Ieremiac'h Ventrutx]], the incumbent, was elected in a special election to complete the remainder of [[Ma la Mha]]'s term. He will run for reelection; in his special election campaign, he was elected as a write-in candidate (no other name actually appeared on the ballot, in a first for Talossa since Reunision). Ventrutx is also running with his own party, the [[Zefençadéirs del Päts Talossan (Ventrutx)|ZPT]], which he brought back after a hiatus of ten years.
 
[[AMP]] has announced that [[Breneir Itravilatx]], a former Foreign Minister and Senator for [[Maritiimi-Maxhestic]] between 2010 and 2011, would contest the seat. The Free Democrats will instead support [[Açafat del Vala]] for the seat, while also endorsing Itravilatx as a second IRV preference. Del Val notably led the Free Democrats's efforts in the [[Nimlet]] concerning the Fiova-Florencia merger in the summer of 2019.
 
MTGA leader [[Mximo Carbonel]] will also contest the seat. He had previously ran in two elections and received write-in votes in two others. Carbonel had expressed his desire to move to his geographically correct province (Atatürk) during the previous term; changing provinces would cast his eligibility to hold the seat into doubt, although the Organic Law only forbids people to be elected or appointed to the seat of a different province.
 
Should the seat be won by either Carbonel or Ventrutx, both leaders of a one-man party, they would have to forfeit their party's seats in the Cosa, as they are the only candidate on the party list. In the case of Ventrutx, who is both the favourite to retain the Senate seat and likely to win a substantial number of Cosa seats due to the RUMP deregistering, this would potentially have the effect of lowering the threshold for an outright majority in the Cosa, should the ZPT leave their seats vacant.

Final results show Açafat del Val winning the race after a four-way tie in first preference votes. If confirmed, this would be the first time the Florencian Senate seat is won by a non-monarchist since the very first incumbent, [[Danihel Laurieir]], in 1997. Del Val has not served either in Cabinet or in the Ziu before.
 
===Fiova===
The incumbent is [[Gödafrïeu Válcadác'h]], currently the third longest tenured Senator, who had served as Lord President (Mençei) of the Senate in 2018 and is well known as the long-time [[Royal Archivist]] of Talossa. He has announced his intention to run for reelection.
 
No challenger has declared their intention to run. The last contested election in {{fio}} was in December 2013, when the [[NPW]]'s [[Dieter Vercáriâ]] took on the [[ZRT]]'s [[Miestrâ Schivâ]].

Final results show Válcadác'h handily winning reelection with an overall majority of 75% of first preferences, a decrease of 10%.
===Maritiimi-Maxhestic===
 
===Maricopa===
The incumbent is Sir [[Cresti Siervicül]], the lone senator to be affiliated with the RUMP. Siervicül has completed his first term in the Senate, which he joined in late 2017, initially as an appointee and then winning a special election to complete the rest of the term.
 
The seat is one of two expected to be competitive, should multiple candidates from different parties be on the ballot. Maricopa was the first province where IRV was applied to a Senate race.
 
The Free Democrats have announced that Foreign Minister [[Txoteu Davinescu]], formerly of [[AMP]], will contest the seat for a second time; he was the [[MRPT]]'s candidate in 2017, where he received the second-most first votes (29%), but lost out in the final IRV round to [[Beneditsch Ardpresteir]]. Ardpresteir himself later announced he would run for the seat, setting up a rematch with Davinescu.

Final results show Ardpresteir winning at the second elimination round, with 50% of first preference votes, a 7% decrease for the RUMP from the latest contested election. FreeDem challenger Txoteu Davinescu only mustered 25% of the first preference vote, a 3% decrease compared to his previous attempt at the seat.
''* Pursuant to Organic Law V.8., Sir A. Davinescu, as Grand-General Secretary of Maritiimi-Maxhestic, broke the tie in favour of Ian Platschisch.''
 
This was the second attempt at a Senate majority for a party that failed in Maricopa, with the FreeDems stopping short of a clean sweep of Senate races, although they will still be the lone plurality party in the Senate for the first time in their history. Additionally, depending on Ardpresteir's affiliation, this might mean that the RUMP will continue being represented in the Ziu despite not being a registered party anymore.
