The 1956 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 6, 1956. Voters elected members of the Arizona House of Representatives in all 80 of the state's House districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 11, 1956.[3]
Prior to the elections, the Democrats held a majority of 60 seats over the Republicans' 20 seats.
Following the election, Democrats maintained control of the chamber with 57 Democrats to 23 Republicans, a net gain of three seats for Republicans.[4]
The newly elected members served in the 23rd Arizona State Legislature, during which Democrat W. L. "Tay" Cook was chosen as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
