United States congressional delegations from Arkansas

Since Arkansas became a U.S. state in 1836,[1] it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 25th United States Congress in 1837. Before becoming a state, the Arkansas Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress, beginning with the 16th United States Congress in 1819.[2] Each state elects two senators to serve for six years in general elections, with their re-election staggered. Prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, senators were elected by the Arkansas General Assembly.[3] Each state elects varying numbers of members of the House, depending on population, to two-year terms.[4]
