Looking for the Nov. 5 General Election guide? Click here.
Between July 3 and July 30, Arizona voters can participate in choosing which state and local candidates they want to see on the general election ballot in November.
The recognized political parties in the 2024 primary election are Democrat, Republican, Green and Libertarian. The No Labels party is not holding a primary.
The candidates for U.S. president will not be on the primary election ballot because Arizona held a separate Presidential Preference Election in the spring. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won their respective party primaries.
This voter guide includes some state and Pima County elections, focusing on certain competitive races. In some races, we included more information about candidates when they participated in recent debates or Arizona Luminaria has written about them in the past.
Arizona Luminaria built this guide to serve voters who want to know more about election rules or resources and the political races to represent Arizonans. We’ll continue to listen to what voters want to know, so please reach out with questions and story ideas: info@azluminaria.org. You can read all our voting stories here.
