Active Voters Have Decreased in Arizona

According to a report by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, there are 3.77 million active voters in Arizona. The report reflects registration amounts through April 1, and also found there are 509,000 inactive voters.

A voter is inactive if there is chance their registration information is inaccurate. Active voters have decreased from 3.78 million, but Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs says the decrease is normal.

“This is really attributable to regular movement of folks. Either people pass away, (or) they move out of the state,” she said. Hobbs said the decrease is due to “routine maintenance that we’re constantly engaged in to ensure that our records are accurate and that we’re maintaining the integrity of our elections.”


About 1.29 million Arizona voters are registered as Republicans, 1.15 million as Democrats, 31,600 as Libertarians, and 6,500 as the Green Party. Around 1.24 million voters are in the “other” category.

“Independent or unaffiliated voters continue to be the second-highest group of registered voters, and I think that … we’ve been seeing that trend for quite a long time,” Hobbs said.
