The 2018 Arizona State Legislature elections will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, with a primary election being held on August 28, 2018. Voters in the all 30 legislative districts of the Arizona Legislature will elect one state senator and two state representatives. The elections will coincide with the elections of other offices, including for governor and the United States Senate.

Members to the State Senate are elected from the same legislative districts as members of the [State] House of Representatives; however, one Senator represents the constituency, while for the House there are two Representatives per district.[1]

Early campaign

In June, a judge ruled that former state senator Don Shooter, who'd been removed from the chamber earlier in 2018, could remain on the ballot for the Yuma district even though Shooter briefly registered to vote in Phoenix.[2]

Independent district 28 senate candidate Mark Syms, husband of representative Maria Syms, was removed from the ballot after a Superior Court judge determined that his petitions contained over 900 forged voter signatures.[3] This followed reports that incumbent district 28 state senator Kate Brophy McGee was supporting house candidate Kathy Petsas.[4]

The most competitive districts in the state include district 28,[4] district 6,[4] and district 18.[5]
