On Tuesday, November 3, citizens of Arizona head to the polls to participate in the 2026 United States midterm general elections. Key races in the state include the election for governor and the contests to determine who will fill Arizona’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The race for governor features Republican Andy Biggs and Democrat Katie Hobbs, alongside other candidates appearing on the ballot. Simultaneously, voters will elect their federal representatives based on their respective congressional districts. It should be noted that no U.S. Senate seat for Arizona is up for election in 2026.

The Arizona Secretary of State’s office has indicated that initial, unofficial data will be available after 8:00 p.m. local time; therefore, no winner can be confirmed before the vote count begins.

In the race for governor, the Arizona Constitution stipulates that the candidate who receives the highest number of votes is elected. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure more than 50% of the vote to win. If two or more candidates tie for the highest number of votes, the state Legislature must resolve the election through a joint vote of its two chambers.
Results released on election night will be unofficial. The official state canvass for the general election is scheduled for November 23, 2026.
According to a statement from the Secretary of State’s office, polling locations in Arizona open this Tuesday, November 3, at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. (local time). Voters who have not yet cast their ballots should arrive at their designated polling place before the polls close.
Election officials also remind voters that they must present a valid form of identification to vote in person. Accepted forms of ID include an Arizona driver’s license, provided it meets the requirements established by state law.
The Arizona Secretary of State’s office has set up a results portal to track the vote count for the November 3 general election. The first update is expected after 8:00 p.m. Arizona local time—which corresponds to after 10:00 p.m. in Peru.
Results will be released incrementally as counties process and report data from polling locations. For that reason, the percentages and vote counts may change during election night and in the days that follow.
