Arkansas House of Representatives

Elections for the office of Arkansas State Representative were held in Arkansas on November 2, 2010. State house seats in all 100 districts were on the ballot in 2010.

The signature-filing deadline for candidates who wished to run in these elections was March 8, 2010, and the primary election day was May 18, 2010.

In Arkansas, representatives serve two-year terms with a three term limit.

The incumbent representative ran for re-election for 60 of the 100 state house seats that were up for election in 2010. (60% of races)

As was the case in the senate election, Democrats lost a number of seats, severely weakening their majority.
