2026 Arkansas House of Representatives election

The 2026 Arkansas House of Representatives election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside the other 2026 United States elections. Voters will elect members of the Arkansas House of Representatives in all 100 of the U.S. state of Arkansas's state house districts to serve a two-year term.

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 had 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 successfully filed a petition to be placed on the ballot and has fielded four state house candidates. The primary elections took place on March 3, 2026, and in races where no candidate received over 50% in a primary, runoff elections took place on March 31, 2026.

This election will take place alongside races for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor, state senate, and numerous other state and local offices.
