Senators are elected by members of municipal, autonomous districts and regional councils. In each region and autonomous district, two senators are elected by the members of this electoral college, while the president nominates a third one. The Senate thus has a total of 99 senators, 66 elected and 33 nominated.{{cite web|url=https://fr.scribd.com/document/372122298/ORDONNANCE-N-2018-143-DU-14-02-2018-RELATIVE-A-L-ELECTION-DES-SENATEURS-1#from_embed|title=Ordonnance Numéro 2018-143|publisher=Gouvernment of Ivory Coast|language=French}}
