2022 Candidates for State Elections and New Legislative Districts
Over the last few months of 2021, the Board of Apportionment redrew 100 House & 35 Senate Districts so that each district met various legal criteria, including each district being about the same size in population. This “redistricting” is required by law once every 10 years after the Federal Census. In November 2021, the Arkansas Legislature voted to approve new districts based on the 2020 census.
