Elections in
Arizona's 2026 midterm elections feature 15 competitive races across statewide and federal offices, with the primary election scheduled for July 21, 2026. Voters will decide on five statewide offices including Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Treasurer, along with 10 U.S. House district races that will help determine the balance of power in Congress.
As a state that has seen increasingly competitive elections in recent cycles, Arizona's 2026 contests will shape both state governance and federal representation. The state's election infrastructure includes robust early voting options and a strong tradition of mail-in voting, with roughly 80% of Arizona voters historically casting ballots before Election Day. With races spanning from congressional districts in urban Maricopa County to rural communities across the state, this election cycle offers Arizona voters the opportunity to weigh in on leadership at multiple levels of government.
Both Democratic and Republican primaries are taking place across various offices, reflecting contested races within each party. The July primary will narrow the field before the general election later in the year, giving voters two opportunities to participate in the democratic process.

Arizona offers multiple convenient ways to vote. Voters can register online, by mail, or in person at county recorder offices and various state agencies. The state does not require an excuse to vote early or by mail. Arizona maintains a Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL), allowing registered voters to automatically receive mail-in ballots for every election. Voters not on the PEVL can request a one-time early ballot for any election.
On Election Day, voters may cast ballots at assigned polling locations in their county. Arizona requires voters to present one form of photo identification or two forms of non-photo identification that include their name and address. Acceptable photo IDs include an Arizona driver's license, U.S. passport, tribal enrollment card, or other government-issued identification. Early ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted—postmarks do not count. Voters can track their mail-in ballot status online through the Arizona Voter Information Portal.
