Prior to the election, the National Conference of State Legislatures labeled this as one of many state and local races throughout the country that could effect partisan balance during post-census redistricting.[2]

Republicans expanded their supermajority from 76–24 to 77–23, flipping the 9th and 11th districts, while Democrats flipped the 32nd district. While Arkansas was long a practically single-party state dominated by the Democratic Party during the Solid South, the rise of the Southern Strategy and the realignment of political parties has turned it and most other southern states into Republican strongholds. Republicans have controlled the House since the 2012 elections. Democratic strength is mostly isolated to Little Rock, the state capital and largest city, and Fayetteville, home to the University of Arkansas, as well as the Black Belt along the Mississippi Delta, with large populations of rural African Americans.[3]

Democrat Jimmie L. Wilson narrowly won by 5 percentage points ahead of Republican David Tollett, but Wilson was unanimously ruled ineligible to serve as a state representative by the Arkansas Supreme Court on October 26, 2020. Wilson was convicted of a misdemeanor 30 years earlier for "illegal use of federal farm loans and selling mortgaged crops." Despite being pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001, the court found a 2016 amendment to the Arkansas Constitution barring those who have been convicted of "deceit, fraud or false statement" from serving in public office barred Wilson from serving.[6]
