The 1849 Arkansas gubernatorial special election was held on March 13, 1849, to elect the governor of Arkansas for the remainder of Governor Thomas S. Drew's term, which became vacant after his resignation on January 10, 1849, due to the low salary he received as governor. The Democratic nominee and former speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives, John S. Roane, defeated the Whig nominee, Cyrus W. Wilson, by a slim margin of 62 votes, or 0.96%.[1][2]
