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 both the House popular vote and the majority of congressional districts in Arkansas.[citation needed]
