The 1968 United States presidential election in Arkansas was held on November 5, 1968 as part of the 1968 United States presidential election. American Independent candidate George Wallace won the state of Arkansas with 235,627 votes, with Republican Richard Nixon winning 189,062 and Democrat Hubert Humphrey winning 184,901.
With 38.87% of the popular vote, Arkansas would prove to be Wallace's weakest state that he carried in the 1968 election after Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia. This was the first time since 1872 that Arkansas did not vote for the Democratic candidate, and would be the last time until 2008 that Arkansas did not back the winner of the presidential election. As of 2024, this remains the last time that a Republican has won the presidency without carrying Arkansas.
Among white voters, 46% supported Wallace, 36% supported Nixon, and 19% supported Humphrey.
