They took a state vote years ago not to alter the time and remain on DST year round.

Having lived in Arizona the one year that we tried day light savings time, it was a disaster. It was still light out at 9:30 at night. Way to much daylight, try putting kids to bed when the sun is still shinning. Arizona is just to far south.

Daylight savings time was first proposed by Ben Franklin to conserve energy. Then in world war 2, the made the change for the whole year,also to conserve energy, and to be more productive. We finally settled on the way it is now shortly after WW2. Just a little history, thought it might help.

Because daylight savings time is a scam! :)
It is kind of fun living in a state where we don't change but everyone else does! In the summer we are the same as the west coast, in the winter the same as Colorado.
BTW, the Navajo nation DOES have DST so there is a section of AZ up by NM that changes while the rest of AZ does not.

Arizona is far enough south that the amount of daylight doesn't vary as much. They're on the border of the timezone so it may not make a difference. Also, it may be that they prefer less daylight / sunlight in the middle of summer when it get's really hot

Indiana doesn't either. But they are going to start next year.
