2026 Arkansas elections

A general election will be held in the U.S. state of Arkansas on November 3, 2026 for all executive offices, all four of the state's seats in the United States House of Representatives, and a U.S. senator. Primaries will be held on March 3, 2026, with runoff primaries on March 31. While Arkansas used to be a Democratic stronghold, (with Bill Clinton winning it twice with very comfortable margins), Arkansas is now among the most red states in the country. A Democrat has not won state-wide since 2010, when former governor Mike Beebe won re-election.

Major party candidates had until November 11, 2025 to submit their candidacies to appear on the primary election ballot. Candidates for newly-created political parties have until March 3, 2026, primary election day, to file to appear on the general election ballot, and independent candidates have until May 1, 2026 to petition to be placed on the ballot. The Libertarian Party of Arkansas has declared its intention to field candidates for Arkansas offices, submitting a petition to qualify for the general election ballot in November 2025.
