The Arizona Legislature is the state legislature of the
U.S. state of Arizona. It is a bicameral legislature that consists of a lower house, the
House of Representatives, and an upper
house, the Senate. There are 60 Representatives and 30 Senators. The state
legislature meets in the Capitol Complex in the state capital, Phoenix.
Districting
There are 30 legislative districts in Arizona, each of which is a multimember constituency. Each district elects a Senator and
2 Representatives for a two-year term. The crossing of upper and lower house districts into a single constituency is found in
only seven U.S. state legislatures: Arizona, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Washington.
Term limits
Serving two-year terms, both Senator or Representatives are constricted by term limits.
Members may only serve four consecutive terms (or eight years) in either house.
