Republicans Increase Their Voter Registration Edge over Democrats in Arizona

Republicans outpaced Democrats by a margin of 7 percent for the second quarter of 2025, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes – a Democrat – revealed in a new report of voter registration numbers. The move to the Right was seen statewide and in Maricopa County, the largest and most influential of the state’s 15 counties.

Despite the perception of Arizona becoming more Democratic due to Democrats winning major offices since 2020, Republicans have been steadily expanding their voter registration advantage over Democrats.

The new figures reveal that Republicans are at 35.74 percent of the electorate statewide compared to 28.41 percent for Democrats. Independents maintained their lead over Democrats as well, at 34.13 percent. The figures for Maricopa County almost exactly mirror the state figures, with Republicans at 35.29 percent and Democrats at 28.01 percent. Independents are at 34.87 percent.

In 2020, at the time of the general election, Republicans made up only 35.24 percent of statewide registered voters, just 3 percent more than Democrats at 32.20 percent. In Maricopa County, Republicans constituted 35.26 percent, while Democrats constituted 31.37 percent, a difference of less than 4 points.

Some of the heavily Republican counties reported even higher gains. Mohave County reported 56.11 percent Republicans to 12.27 percent Democrats, over 43 percent more. In 2020, that lead was only 36 percent. Pinal County reported 39.64 percent Republican to only 22.64 percent Democrats, 17 percent more. In 2020, that lead was just over 9 percent.
