The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the four U.S. representatives from the state of Arkansas, one from all four of the state's congressional districts. The primary elections took place on March 3, 2026, and in races where no candidate receives over 50% in a primary, runoff elections took place on March 31, 2026. Arkansas' U.S. House delegation has been exclusively Republican since 2013.
This election will take place alongside races for U.S. Senate, governor, state senate, state house, and numerous other state and local offices.
Background In Christian Ministerial Alliance v. Thurston, plaintiffs alleged racial gerrymandering diluting the voting power of black voters by splitting Little Rock into three districts. The case was heard in a federal district court. The panel ruled that it did not constitute a racial gerrymander and dismissed the case.
