General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Arizona in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 23, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty-nine candidates filed to run in Arizona's nine U.S. House districts, including 10 Democrats and 29 Republicans. That's 4.33 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.11 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Arizona was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 39 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Arizona's U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
One district — the 6th — was open. That’s one more than in 2020, and one less than in 2018. Rep. David Schweikert (R), who represented the 6th district, filed to run in the 1st district. Rep. Tom O'Halleran (D), who represented the 1st district, filed to run in the 2nd district, where incumbent Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) did not seek re-election.
The 2nd and 6th districts attracted the most candidates this year, with eight candidates running in each. There were eight contested primaries this year — two Democratic and six Republican. That's the fewest contested primaries since 2014, when there were five contested primaries.
Six incumbents — four Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. The 8th and 9th districts were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census
On January 24, 2022, Arizona enacted new legislative maps after the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission transmitted its finalized plans to the secretary of state.[5] The commission initially voted to finalize and certify the legislative map plan on Jan. 21.[6] The commission's nonpartisan chairwoman, Erika Neuberg, joined the two Republican members—David Mehl and Douglas York—voting in favor of the map. The commission's two Democratic members—Shereen Lerner and Derrick Watchman—were opposed.[7] This map took effect for Arizona's 2022 legislative elections.
