Arizona General Election Results
Federal, State & Local Races
Roughly 1,391,108 Arizona voters cast ballots in the 2018 general election—a record-breaking midterm voter turnout (based on ballots counted as of 11:45 p.m.).
With many more votes still to be counted, we know current numbers will change. Republicans are likely to retain two key seats in the Arizona State Senate (LD6 and LD28), however, there is a small possibility that could change over the next week as remaining votes are tallied. While we can likely expect a 17-13 split in the Senate, there is still a mathematical possibility that Democrats could pick up enough seats to create a 15-15 split. Technically, there is also a chance for an even split in the Arizona House of Representatives, but it's much more likely that the Republicans will hang on to the majority by one or two votes.
Based on results as of tonight, the possible ratios between Republicans and Democrats in each chamber are as follows:
Below are key highlights from the election (results as of 11:45 p.m.). Triadvocates will publish outcomes of the Arizona House and Senate leadership races in a special edition of the Navigator later this week.
