Official candidate list: Arizona Secretary of State. Faces and bars are the campaigns that hold the seat or have $25,000 raised or outside spending on file; being outside that group is a filing fact, not a mark. A candidate marked write-in is certified to run and their votes count; their name is not printed on the ballot. Not a prediction.
