Major events
Corruption and scandals
- Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders initially set the House District 26 primary for March 3, 2026, with the general election November 3, 2026, but moved the general election to June 9, 2026 following widespread backlash. A Pulaski County judge ultimately ruled the governor's proposed dates violated the law requiring the election be scheduled 'as soon as practical' and within 150 days after the seat vacancy (which would be before February 23, 2026), and the Arkansas Supreme Court denied the governor's appeal.[2]
Vacancies
- Representative Gary Stubblefield (R-26th) died September 2, 2025. Five Republican candidates sought the nomination in the primary election on January 6, 2026; resulting in a runoff election between Wade Dunn and Brad C. Simon scheduled for February 3.[3]
- Representative Carlton Wing (R-70th) resigned on September 30, 2025 to become the executive director of Arkansas PBS.[4] Two Democratic candidates sought the nomination in the primary election January 6, 2026; Alex Holladay will face Republican Bo Renshaw in the general election on March 3.[5]
Major legislation
A total of 1,026 bills became law; Governor Sanders vetoed two bills.[2]
