The U.S. state of Arkansas, in common with the other U.S. states, must redraw its congressional and legislative districts every ten years to reflect changes in the state and national populations. Redistricting follows the completion of the United States census, which is carried out by the federal government in years that end in 0; the most recent census took place in 2020.

Redistricting for congressional districts is controlled by the Arkansas General Assembly. Districts for the two bodies constituting the General Assembly, the Arkansas House of Representatives (100 members) and the Arkansas Senate (35 senators), is controlled by the three-member Arkansas Board of Apportionment, consisting of the Governor of Arkansas, the Attorney General of Arkansas, and the Arkansas Secretary of State, since 1936.
