The 1970 Arizona Senate election was held on November 3, 1970. Voters elected all 30 members of the Arizona Senate to serve two-year terms. The 1970 election ushered in the restructuring of the Arizona Legislature to its current format. There are 30 electoral districts across the state, each district electing a single state senator and two state representatives.
Primary elections were held on September 8, 1970.[3]
Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 17 seats over the 13 seats held by Democrats.
Following the election, Republicans maintained control of the chamber and expanded their majority to 18 Republicans to 12 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Republicans.[4]
