Senatorial elections and local elections were held on November 13, 1951. The 1951 elections were known as the 1951 Philippine midterm election as the election date falls half-way through President Elpidio Quirino's four-year term. After a sweep by the Liberals in 1949, many Filipinos doubted the election result. This brought a sweep by the Nacionalistas in the 1951 elections. There was a special election for the vacated senate seat of Fernando Lopez, who won as Vice President in 1949.
