Live Poll

Will the upcoming Arizona election confirm a shift away from the state's traditional Republican status?

Arizona voters will head to the polls on November 3, 2026, to cast ballots for statewide offices, state legislative seats, and U.S. House representatives. The outcomes will settle the political control of the state legislature and influence the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.

Why it matters

These elections are critical as they decide which party controls state government and two vulnerable Republican-held congressional seats. The results will also provide a clear indicator of whether Arizona remains a Republican-leaning state.

All statewide offices and congressional seats are up for election in this cycle, with two Republican-held seats currently considered vulnerable. This follows the 2022 election results where Democrats secured three top statewide offices.
