2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas
Although Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson only obtained 2.6% of the vote in Arkansas during the coinciding presidential election, Libertarian candidates for the U.S. House amounted to a total of 18.4% of the popular vote, a 10.4% swing from 2014 when the total was 8%. This huge swing was attributed to several factors:
the Libertarian Party was the only third party to file for ballot status in the House elections;
the Democratic Party did not field any candidates for races in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th congressional districts;
this in turn allowing the Libertarian candidates to obtain over 20% of the vote in these races.
The Democratic Party as a result finished 3rd in the popular vote in Arkansas, with its vote total amounting to 10.4%.
