Arizona primaries today: Results and who is winning the 2026 elections

Arizona voters head to the polls on July 21 for primary elections that will shape the state's political landscape. The elections will decide which candidates will advance to compete for various public offices, most notably the governorship. Polls opened at 6 a.m. local time and will remain open until 7 p.m., with voters in line at closing time still permitted to cast their ballots.

Anticipation is high for the gubernatorial race, with results expected to be announced around 8 p.m. The outcome will determine who challenges the incumbent governor, Katie Hobbs, in the general election on November 3. On the Republican side, the race for the gubernatorial nomination is particularly competitive.

Congressman Andy Biggs, a five-term representative, is considered a frontrunner, bolstered by an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Trump publicly backed Biggs on Truth Social, praising him as a defender of American interests and outlining his platform, which includes reducing taxes and regulations, promoting U.S. products, securing the border, and protecting Second Amendment rights.

Other notable Republican candidates vying for the nomination include Congressman David Schweikert, who is relinquishing his House seat, and businessmen Ken Miceli and Scott Neely, both with backgrounds in the construction industry. The primary elections also cover nominations for other government positions, as reported by AP.

As of July 20, Arizona had already received 852,369 early voting ballots, with the majority submitted through the U.S. Postal Service, according to the Arizona Secretary of State. This indicates a significant level of early engagement from voters in this crucial election cycle.
