Arizona 2024 Election Results

November 5, 2024

Arizona held its general election on November 5, 2024, deciding 90 legislative seats across 60 districts and the office of Corporation Commissioner. No chamber changed party control.

Highlights

  • Arizona Republicans widened their hold on both chambers, stretching a pair of two-vote majorities into margins of six in the House and four in the Senate. For Gov. Katie Hobbs, who vetoed a record number of bills across her first two years, divided government got harder to manage. Republicans also showed, on the same ballot, that they can route around her veto entirely by referring measures directly to the voters. Senate President Warren Petersen called the result "the most conservative Legislature in history."
  • Republicans took four Democratic-held seats and gave one back, with three sitting legislators defeated along the way:
  • The ballot's 13 propositions told their own story about the Arizona electorate, which enshrined an abortion right and endorsed tougher border enforcement on the same night:
    • Proposition 139, the cycle's marquee citizen initiative, wrote a right to abortion into the state constitution with 62 percent support.
    • Proposition 314, which the Legislature placed on the ballot, passed with 63 percent, allowing state and local police to arrest noncitizens crossing from abroad outside ports of entry.
    • Every attempt to rewrite election rules failed. Proposition 140, which would have replaced party primaries with a single open primary, drew 41 percent; Proposition 133, which would have required partisan primaries, drew 42; and Proposition 137, which would have ended retention elections for judges, drew just 22.
  • Across the 60 legislative races, five seats changed party hands, four of them Republican pickups, and 3 incumbents were defeated. Four contests between the parties finished inside roughly two points; the tightest was the race for House District 9's second seat.

Legislature

  • House (60 seats): 29 D, 31 R before the election, 27 D, 33 R after; control stayed with Republicans.
  • Senate (30 seats): 14 D, 16 R before the election, 13 D, 17 R after; control stayed with Republicans.
