This election marks the establishment of one-party hegemony in every county in Arkansas except Unionist Ozark Newton and Searcy where Republicans would control local government permanently.[1] The new secret ballot and an onerous poll tax had already severely reduced black and poor white voting at the time of this election,[2] in the process largely eliminating opposition party challenges.
Arkansas was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Arthur Sewall of Maine. Three electors cast their Vice Presidential ballots for Thomas E. Watson.
