The 1956 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 6, 1956, as part of the 1956 United States presidential election. States voters chose four[3] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Arizona was won by incumbent President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–Pennsylvania), running with Vice President Richard Nixon, with 60.99% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator Estes Kefauver, with 39.90% of the popular vote.[4][5]
Eisenhower was the first Republican presidential candidate to ever carry Graham County, which was to become a Republican stronghold after 1964.[6]
