The 2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas were held on November 4, 2008 to determine who will represent the
state of
Arkansas in the
United States House of Representatives. Arkansas has four seats in the House, apportioned according to the
2000 United States census. Representatives are elected for two-year terms; those elected will serve in the
111th Congress from January 4, 2009 until January 3, 2011. The election coincides with the
2008 presidential election.
No
incumbent was opposed by a candidate from the other major party. The
Green Party of Arkansas is the only opponent to the incumbent in most districts. This is the largest number of congressional candidates fielded by an Arkansas party other than the Democratic or Republican parties since the
People's Party in 1894.[1] All incumbents were reelected. As of 2024, this is the last election in which Democrats won the House popular vote or the majority of congressional districts in Arkansas.
