The first candidates ran in the 2012 House elections, and the first representative was seated for the 113th Congress in 2013. The district is located entirely within Maricopa County. Geographically and demographically, it is the successor to the old 5th district ; 60 percent of the new 9th 's territory comes from the old 5th. It is centered around Tempe and includes southern Scottsdale, western Mesa, northwestern Chandler, and southern Phoenix including the Ahwatukee district. As of the 2012 general election, there are 344,770 registered voters. Of these, 118,077 ( 34.2 % ) are registered Republican, 107,123 ( 31.1 % ) are registered Democratic, 3,232 ( 0.9 % ) are registered Libertarian, and 761 ( 0.2 % ) are registered Green. A substantial number, 115,531 ( 33.5 % ) are independents. It is split between liberal bastions such as Tempe ( home to Arizona State University ), strongly conservative portions of the East Valley, and more moderate Republicans in eastern and southern Phoenix. The district was one of seven across the United States whose winner was not declared on election night. Although Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema held a narrow lead over Republican candidate Vernon Parker, the number of provisional and absentee ballots to be counted significantly exceeded the margin between the two. Sinema was officially declared the winner on November 12, 2012. Since the 9th district 's incumbent representative Kyrsten Sinema is running for Senate in 2018 to replace retiring U.S. Senator Jeff Flake, the seat will be open in 2018.
