Election Notes:
  • Arizona held a popular vote for its United States Senators (and future state officers) on December 12, 1911 prior to being admitted as the 48th state, which eventually occurred on February 14, 1912. There was a single ticket for both seats. The results here are for the highest candidates from each party. Henry Ashurst assumed Arizona's Class 1 Senate seat, which would next be up for election in 1916. The results for the Class 3 seat are listed separately as a Special Election in 1911.
  • This popular vote for United States Senator was technically only an advisory vote as prior to the adoption of the 17th Amendment in 1913, state legislatures officially elected United States Senators. The newly constituted Arizona Legislature unanimously chose Henry Ashurst (and Marcus Smith) as its first United States Senator on March 27, 1912. Arizona became the second state to ratify the 17th Amendment, doing so on June 3, 1912.
  • Although Ashurst's popular vote share is listed as 50.00%, he was actually 2 votes short of a majority (1 short of exactly 50%). His actual vote share was 49.995%, which rounds to 50.00%.
