These elections were held concurrently with the United States Senate elections of 2000 (including an election in Missouri where Democrat Mel Carnahan was posthumously elected to the United States Senate), the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections.

In addition to the races for U.S. Senate, Governor, and Missouri's electoral votes for President, the House contest in the Show-Me state's sixth congressional district was also among the nation's most competitive races in 2000.
