The 2010 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 24, 2010.[7][8] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[9]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Arizona Governor, and Arizona Senate.[10][11]
Following the previous election in 2008, Republicans held a 35-to-25-seat majority over Democrats.[12][13][14] Republicans expanded their majority in 2010, winning 40 seats. At 20 members, Democrats experienced a net loss of five seats.[7][10][11] The newly elected members served in the 50th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Kirk Adams was originally re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House on January 10, 2011.[a] He resigned on April 28, 2011.[4] Republican Andy Tobin was elected to fill the Speaker vacancy the same day.[6]
