To qualify for the general election, primary write-in candidates for parties with continued statewide representation had to receive enough votes to meet or exceed the number of nominating petition signatures required to file for the primary.[2] In the 2025 special election, the Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican parties were subject to this rule.[3] Libertarian write-in candidate Andy Fernandez Jr. did not meet the required 376 minimum write-in votes, so he did not advance to the general election.[4]
Primary write-in candidates for recognized parties that did not have continued statewide representation did not need to meet a minimum vote count.[2] Eduardo Quintana (G) and Richard Grayson (No Labels Party) advanced to the general election after receiving the most write-in votes in their primaries.

Green Party website
The Green Party US's website stated the following:
| “ |
My name is Eduardo Heredia-Quintana and I'm running for Senate with the Arizona Green Party to offer a true political choice outside our failed two-party system. I believe in a pro-worker, anti-war, climate action agenda and will put this front and center in November. I’ll advocate for phasing out the burning of fossil fuels and replace them with renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hyrdroelectric, geothermal), a just transition to a democratically controlled eco-socialist economy through a Green New Deal, protecting/expanding worker's rights to organize and bargain collectively, ensuring fair and proportional taxation, mandating employers pay livable wages, reducing the cost of living and eliminating poverty, defending medical/reproductive/personal autonomy, ending police brutality and mass incarceration, reducing our bloated military budget, ending U.S./N.A.T.O. wars of aggression and global dominance, shrinking the military-industrial complex, and promoting free & fair elections in an inclusive grassroots democracy. MY PLATFORM: Guarantees Social Justice & Equality For All Eliminates Poverty & Economic Exploitation Dismantles Systems of Unjust Hierarchy & Oppression Cancels Student Debt Ensures Universal Healthcare Embraces Respect & Diversity in Society Decentralizes Wealth and Political Power Defends and Expands Our Democracy Promotes Peace, Diplomacy, & Non-Violence Provides Universal Access to the Necessities of a Dignified Life Protects the Ecological Health and Integrity of our Planet Ensures the Long-Term Sustainability of Human Civilizations |
