[edit] Districting

There are 30 legislative districts in Arizona, each of which is a multimember constituency. Each district elects a Senator and 2 Representatives for a two-year term. The crossing of upper and lower house districts into a single constituency is found in only seven U.S. state legislatures: Arizona, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington.

[edit] Term limits

Serving two-year terms, both Senator or Representatives are constricted by term limits. Members may only serve four consecutive terms (or eight years) in either house.
