The 2018 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 28, 2018.[5][6] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[7]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Arizona governor and Arizona Senate.[8][9]
Following the previous election in 2016, Republicans held a 35-to-25-seat majority over Democrats.[10][11][12] Republicans maintained their majority in 2018, though the GOP majority narrowed to 31 seats. At 29 members, Democrats experienced a net gain of four seats.[5][8][9] The newly elected members served in the 54th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Russell W. "Rusty" Bowers was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[4][a]
