===Maricopa===
The incumbent is Sir [[Cresti Siervicül]], the lone senator to be affiliated with the RUMP. Siervicül has completed his first term in the Senate, which he joined in late 2017, initially as an appointee and then winning a special election to complete the rest of the term.
The seat is one of two expected to be competitive, should multiple candidates from different parties be on the ballot. Maricopa was the first province where IRV was applied to a Senate race.
The Free Democrats have announced that Foreign Minister [[Txoteu Davinescu]], formerly of [[AMP]], will contest the seat for a second time; he was the [[MRPT]]'s candidate in 2017, where he received the second-most first votes (29%), but lost out in the final IRV round to [[Beneditsch Ardpresteir]]. Ardpresteir himself later announced he would run for the seat, setting up a rematch with Davinescu.

Final results show Ardpresteir winning at the second elimination round, with 50% of first preference votes, a 7% decrease for the RUMP from the latest contested election. FreeDem challenger Txoteu Davinescu only mustered 25% of the first preference vote, a 3% decrease compared to his previous attempt at the seat.
This was the second attempt at a Senate majority for a party that failed in Maricopa, with the FreeDems stopping short of a clean sweep of Senate races, although they will still be the lone plurality party in the Senate for the first time in their history. Additionally, depending on Ardpresteir's affiliation, this might mean that the RUMP will continue being represented in the Ziu despite not being a registered party anymore.
