Arizona’s state legislative elections this year are shaping up to be generally less competitive than the average from 2010 to 2024. Voters will see below-average open seats, contested primaries, and contested incumbents.
Twenty-four seats are open in Arizona’s state legislative elections this year, meaning no incumbents filed. That is less than the average of 29 since 2010 and means newcomers are guaranteed 27% of the legislature next year.
