Both U.S. Senators and 3 of out the 9 House of Representatives members are Democrats, (the other six are Republicans) Many were first elected in the 2018 elections. The following table indicates the political parties of elected officials in Arizona:
- Governor

- State Mine Inspector
The table also indicates the historical party composition in the:
- State Senate
- State House of Representatives

For years in which a presidential election was held, the table indicates which party's nominees received the state's electoral votes.
Pre-statehood (1863–1911)
1912–present
- ^ Appointed territorial governor by President Abraham Lincoln to be the first governor of the territory, but died on August 19, 1863, before he could arrive in the territory.
- ^ Gurley died prior to taking office as first appointed governor; Goodwin, who was Chief Justice of the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court, was appointed by Lincoln in his place.
- ^ a b Resigned to take an elected seat as delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.
- ^ Attorney general of Arizona Territory appointed by Goodwin.
- ^ a b c d Acting.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Resigned.
- ^ It is unknown when Frémont took the oath of office; he and his family arrived in Prescott on the afternoon of October 6, 1878.
- ^ Hughes abolished many territorial offices, and unhappy officials successfully petitioned Cleveland to remove him.
- ^ Asked by President Theodore Roosevelt to resign for opposing the Newlands Reclamation Act.
- ^ Campbell's narrow election win was overturned by the Arizona Supreme Court on December 22, 1917, which, following a recount, awarded the office to George W. P. Hunt. Campbell vacated the office three days later.
- ^ a b c d e f Died in office.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Appointed to fill a vacancy.
- ^ Elected to fill the vacancy caused by the previous representative being elected to the next term, but resigning before the term began.
- ^ a b c d e Initially appointed to fill a vacancy, subsequently elected in his or her own right.
- ^ a b c As state secretary of state, filled unexpired term and was later elected in his or her own right.
- ^ The state constitution was amended in 1968 to increase gubernatorial terms from two to four years; Williams's first two terms were for two years, his third was for four years.
- ^ a b As state secretary of state, filled unexpired term.
- ^ As state attorney general, filled unexpired term, and was later elected in his own right; the secretary of state at the time had been appointed, not elected, and was therefore, per the state Constitution, not in the line of succession.
- ^ Impeached and removed from office on charges of obstruction of justice and misuse of government funds.
- ^ A power-sharing agreement was reached between the Democrats and three moderate Republicans, who elected Randall Gnant President Pro Tempore, and they organized the chamber with committees alternately being chaired by one party or the other. The twelve conservative Republicans organized as the minority faction in the chamber.[3][4]
- ^ The state constitution was amended in 2000 to expand the Corporation Commission from three to five members and shorten term lengths from six to four years with the possibility to run for a second four-year term.[5]
