Lieutenant Governor of Arizona

The Lieutenant Governor of Arizona will be a constitutional office in the State of Arizona, whose holder will be the first in line to succeed the Governor of Arizona when the governor dies, resigns, or is officially removed from office by the impeachment conviction, a role presently filled by the officially elected Arizona Secretary of State.

On November 8, 2022, the Arizona electorate approved an official law amendment (Proposition 131) to the state constitution which creates the position and the office of the lieutenant governor beginning in January 2027. The position will be elected on a joint ticket with the governor. The lieutenant governor would succeed the governor if the governor dies, resigns, or is removed (via impeachment trial conviction) from office. The proposition—through a law pre-passed by the Legislature—will also task the governor with assigning a job to her or his running mate, such as chief of staff, the director of the state Department of Administration, or "any position" to which the governor can appoint someone by law.
