Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 38 seats over the Democrats' 22 seats.
Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber, though their majority was reduced to 33 Republicans to 27 Democrats, a net gain of five seats for Democrats.[4]
The newly elected members served in the 32nd Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Stanley W. Akers was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[lower-alpha 1]
