Elections in Arizona |
---|
The 2016 Arizona Senate election was held on November 8, 2016. Voters elected members of the Arizona Senate in all 30 of the state's legislative districts to serve a two-year term. Primary elections were held on August 30, 2016. [4]
Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 18 seats over the Democrats' 12 seats. Note that, following the 2014 Arizona Senate election, Republicans held only 17 seats; however, Senator Carlyle Begay switched parties during his term in office, which increased Republicans from 17 to 18 in the Arizona Senate by election day in 2016. [lower-alpha 1]
Following the election, Republicans maintained control of the chamber with 17 Republicans to 13 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Democrats. [5]
The newly elected senators served in the 53rd Arizona State Legislature.
