Article 5, Section 4 of the Colorado Constitution states: "No person shall be a representative or senator who shall not have attained the age of twenty-five years, who shall not be a citizen of the United States, who shall not for at least twelve months next preceding his election, have resided within the territory included in the limits of the county or district in which he shall be chosen; provided, that any person who at the time of the adoption of this constitution, was a qualified elector under the territorial laws, shall be eligible to the first general assembly."

| Salary | Per diem |
| $40,242/year | 85 percent of federal per diem for members living outside Denver; $45/day for members who live 50 or fewer miles from the capitol. Set by the legislature. |
Voters enacted the Colorado Term Limits Act in 1990. That initiative said that Colorado senators are subject to term limits of no more than two four-year terms.
In the event of any vacancy in the senate, the political party that holds the vacant seat is responsible for deciding a replacement. A vacancy committee consisting of members of the political party holding the vacant seat must conduct an election when deciding an appointee. A simple majority vote of members in the vacancy committee is needed to approve any appointment. The person selected to fill the vacancy serves until the next scheduled general election.
Elections for the office of Colorado State Senate will take place in 2020. The general election will be held on November 3, 2020. A primary is scheduled for June 30, 2020. The filing deadline is March 17, 2020.
