• Source: 1934 Arkansas elections

    • Arkansas held a general election on November 6, 1934. Held during a midterm year, the state did not vote for President or Senate in 1934. For the United States House of Representatives, each of Arkansas's seven Representatives sought re-election. Only David Delano Glover in the Arkansas 6th was challenged in the Democratic primary, he was defeated by John McClellan. Claude A. Fuller and Tilman B. Parks handily defeated Republican and Independent challengers for the Arkansas 3rd and Arkansas 7th, respectively.
    All of Arkansas's statewide constitutional offices were up for reelection, including governor. During the Solid South, the Democratic Party held firm control of virtually every office in The South, including Arkansas. Winning the Democratic primary was considered tantamount to election, with several different factions of the party battling in the open primaries. Incumbent governor Junius Marion Futrell handily won re-election; all other state constitutional offices were held by the Democrats without general election opposition.
