This Arizona 2026 election results update is based on reporting from AZ Free News, a conservative news outlet, with unofficial figures and Associated Press race calls as that outlet published them through Friday, Nov. 13. The figures are not the certified statewide canvass. The Citizens Clean Elections Commission lists the state canvass for Nov. 23, after county canvasses in the Nov. 9–19 window.
Bridge News already reported the first wave of concessions, which this Arizona 2026 election results update builds on, in Republicans Concede Key Arizona House and Treasurer Races. This Arizona 2026 election results update adds later calls, including Rep. Eli Crane’s district, the legislature’s shift, and the statewide offices described in AZ Free News’ most recent accounts.
What This Arizona 2026 Election Results Update Adds
Congressional races, including Crane’s delayed call
This Arizona 2026 election results update treats Arizona’s U.S. House map as complete, based on the later AZ Free News reports. On Nov. 10, AZ Free News reported that the Associated Press had called Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District for Republican Rep. Eli Crane over Democrat Jonathan Nez. The outlet said Crane held about 49.7% to Nez’s 48.5%, and that Nez had not conceded as of that report. District 2 includes Flagstaff, Prescott, the Navajo Nation and part of northern Pinal County.
- AZ Free News reported on Nov. 7 that the AP had projected Republican Rep. Abe Hamadeh the winner in District 8 over Democrat Bernadette Greene-Placentia, and Republican Mark Lamb the winner of the open District 5 seat over Democrat Elizabeth Lee. That report said both Republicans held more than 51% of the reported vote by Friday morning of that week.
- Republican Jay Feely conceded District 1 to Democrat Amish Shah, and Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani conceded District 6 to Democrat JoAnna Mendoza, as AZ Free News reported on Nov. 6.
- The same concession report said Democratic Reps. Yassamin Ansari (District 3), Greg Stanton (District 4) and Adelita Grijalva (District 7), and Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (District 9), won reelection handily.
- A Nov. 13 AZ Free News report summarized the surviving Republican House seats as Crane, Lamb, Hamadeh and Gosar, with Shah and Mendoza as the Democratic flips.
Those percentages and “more than 51%” figures are unofficial, as reported by AZ Free News from AP calls and continuing counts. They can still move until the canvass.
Governor, lieutenant governor and other statewide offices
On statewide offices, this Arizona 2026 election results update follows AZ Free News in describing a Democratic hold on the executive offices. In the Nov. 13 report, the outlet said Gov. Katie Hobbs retained her seat and that John Giles will be the state’s first lieutenant governor. The same article said Secretary of State Adrian Fontes also won reelection. An earlier Nov. 8 AZ Free News article likewise referred to Hobbs’ reelection and to Democratic control of the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state.
- Republican Elijah Norton conceded the treasurer’s race to Democrat Nick Mansour, as reported in the Nov. 6 AZ Free News concessions article and in our earlier Bridge News post.
- This Arizona 2026 election results update does not invent statewide vote totals. AZ Free News’ recent stories state the outcomes without publishing a full official statewide tally in the articles reviewed on Nov. 13.
- For official, post-canvass numbers, use the Arizona Secretary of State’s results site and county election offices after Nov. 23.
Legislature: unofficial majorities and new leaders
For the legislature, this Arizona 2026 election results update uses unofficial results, as reported by AZ Free News, that put Democrats in control of both chambers for the first time since 1966. The Nov. 13 article said Democrats flipped seven Senate seats, for an anticipated majority of 20 of 30, and 10 House seats, for an anticipated majority of 37 of 60. A Nov. 9 AZ Free News report used the same unofficial 37–23 House and 20–10 Senate majorities.
- Arizona House Republicans elected Speaker Steve Montenegro as minority leader, Rep. Michael Carbone as assistant minority leader and Rep. Lupe Diaz as minority whip, that Nov. 9 report said.
- The same article said House Democrats selected Rep. Oscar De Los Santos as their nominee for speaker and Rep. Nancy Gutierrez as majority leader, and that Senate Democrats selected Sen. Priya Sundareshan to lead the incoming Senate majority as president.
- Those chamber counts remain unofficial until the canvass. Do not treat them as certified.
Follow remaining county canvasses, then the Nov. 23 state canvass, before treating any unofficial percentage as final. We will return to this Arizona 2026 election results update when certified totals are posted. More race coverage is in Arizona Elections, Prescott Political Action, and our earlier post on the Maricopa County Recorder’s signature-verification timeline.
