The 2024 Arizona Corporation Commission election was held on November 5, 2024. It elected three members of the Arizona Corporation Commission, a five-member body tasked with regulating public utilities in the state.

Members are elected to four-year terms, with three seats up for election in presidential years and the other two up for election in midterm years. The elections use plurality block voting, and each party will nominate 3 candidates. Republicans currently hold 4 seats on the board, while Democrats hold 1.

Two Republicans, Lea Márquez Peterson and James O'Connor, were up for re-election in 2024, as is the lone Democrat, Anna Tovar.

State legislature

[edit]

All 90 seats in both chambers of the Arizona State Legislature were up for election in 2024. Republicans registered gains in both chambers.

State Supreme Court

[edit]

Two justices on the Arizona Supreme Court were up for retention in 2024.[4] Progress Arizona, a progressive political group, campaigned to have both of them removed over their votes in the abortion case Planned Parenthood Arizona v. Mayes.[5]
