The 2016 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. president, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Arizona Senate.
Following the previous election in 2014, Republicans held a 36-to-24-seat majority over Democrats. Republicans maintained their majority in 2016, though the GOP majority narrowed to 35 seats. At 25 members, Democrats experienced a net gain of one seat. The newly elected members served in the 53rd Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican J.D. Mesnard was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.
