A new statewide survey of Republican voters likely to vote in the upcoming GOP primary reveals that the 2026 Arizona Republican primary for Secretary of State is the most consequential race that nobody has yet defined. With a staggering 77% of Republican primary voters still undecided, Secretary of State candidate Alex Kolodin holds a narrow early lead but faces a field where name recognition — not ideology — is the primary barrier to victory. For either candidate, the path to the nomination runs directly through voters who do not yet know who is running.
