Arizona Constitution Practice Test

The term of office for members of the Executive branch is?

1. 2 years

2. 4 years

3. 6 years

4. 8 years

The correct answer is: 4 years

Members of the Executive branch in Arizona serve a term of 4 years. This duration aligns with the framework established in the Arizona Constitution, which dictates that elected officials such as the Governor and other statewide elected officers, including the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Treasurer, each hold office for this 4-year term. The structure provides a balance, enabling these officials to implement policies and manage the state's operations while still allowing for regular opportunities for accountability through elections. This regularly scheduled election cycle helps ensure that the electorate has a chance to review the performance of these officials and decide whether to retain them or select new representatives every four years.
