Elections in Arizona

Elections in Arizona are authorized under the Arizona State Constitution, which establishes elections for the state level officers, cabinet, and legislature.

In a 2020 study, Arizona was ranked as the 21st hardest state for citizens to vote in.

United States Senate elections
Before the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1913, United States senators were elected by state legislatures. Arizona's first two Senate elections, which took place in 1912, still featured popular elections, following which the state legislature unanimously elected their respective victories.

Gubernatorial elections
Governors of Arizona are elected to a term of four years. Prior to a 1968 amendment to the state constitution, governors of Arizona served two-year terms.
