Elections Are Almost Here

In 2026, Arizona voters will choose many important leaders. The primary election was held on July 21. During the primary, voters helped political parties select their candidates.

The general election will be held on Nov. 3. Arizonans will vote for state leaders, including the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and members of the Arizona Legislature. Voters will also choose
nine representatives to serve Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives. These members of Congress travel to Washington, D.C., where they help make laws for the entire country.

Elections are important because they allow citizens to choose their leaders and express their opinions. Kids cannot vote yet, but they can learn about the candidates and issues with their families.
