Due to redistricting, the congressional district numbers in Arizona have changed for the 2022 election cycle. Through this process, the district numbers have changed the following ways:
Since Arizona became a U.S. state in 1912, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 63rd United States Congress in 1913. Before becoming a state, the Arizona Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1864 to 1912.. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and varying members of the House, depending on state population, to two-year terms. Arizona has sent nine members to the House in each delegation since the 2010 United States Census.
