Arizona State Senate

XXXX

The thirty Members of the Senate are chosen by the qualified Electors of the State of Arizona to a Term of six Years (renewable any number of times). Elections for Senators are staggered so that the seats of one-third of the Senate (10 Senators) are filled every two Years. In choosing them, the Electors in each County choose between one and three Senators to represent the People of their County in the Senate; but each County is entitled to at least one Senator.

Leadership
The President of the Senate is nominated, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the State Senate, is appointed by the Governor. The person appointed President of the Senate serves for the same Term as the Governor that appointed him. The President of the Senate, by virtue of that Office, is also the Lieutenant Governor of Arizona.

Apportionment
Each County is represented by between one and three Senators. More populated Counties choose between two and three Senators, but each County is entitled to at least one Senator. Senators are apportioned among the fifteen Counties as follows: [[File:Arizona_Senate-by-county.svg|256px|left|thumb|Number of Senators from each County:
