The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Arizona Senate.[10][11]

Following the previous election in 2002, Republicans held a 39-to-21-seat majority over Democrats.[12][13] During the legislative session, Representative Sylvia Laughter switched political party affiliation from Democrat to Independent.[a] Republicans maintained their majority in 2004, winning 38 seats. At 22 members, Democrats regained Laughter's seat and flipped a Republican seat, resulting in a net gain of two seats.[7][10][11] The newly elected members served in the 47th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Jim Weiers was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[b]
