U. S. Senators and Representatives are elected by direct public vote. Each Senator is elected by all the voters of the state he/she represents, and each Representative is elected by the voters of his/her congressional district within the state. A Senator's term is six years; the term of a Representative is two years. There are no term limits for U. S. Senators and Representatives. Representatives are always elected on the day after the first Monday of November of even-numbered years (unless a special election is needed to fill a vacant seat).
Senators are elected by the voters of the State in which they reside.

Length is the main difference between a Senator's term and a Representative's term. Members of the House are elected by the voters to serve 2-year terms, while Senators are elected to serve 6-year terms.
Originally before the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment the Senators of the Senate were elected by the legislatures of their respective states. After the Seventeenth amendment was passed the Senators were now elected by the Citizens of United States.
