The 1980 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 4, 1980. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 9, 1980. [3]

Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 42 seats over the Democrats' 18 seats.

Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber and expanded their majority to 43 Republicans to 17 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Republicans. [4]

The newly elected members served in the 35th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Frank Kelley was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House. [lower-alpha 1]
