Andrew Johnson Democratic Ulysses S. Grant Republican The 1868 United States presidential election in Arkansas took place on November 3, 1868, as part of the 1868 United States presidential election.

Republican Ulysses S. Grant became the first of his party to ever carry Arkansas, taking 53.68% of the state's vote to Democrat Horatio Seymour's 46.32%.

This was the first time since 1860 that a presidential election was held in the state due to its secession, the American Civil War, and Reconstruction.

This was one of only two times in the 19th century that Arkansas backed a Republican candidate; the party would carry it once more in the next election, before waiting 100 years, until 1972, to win it again.

These counties are: Ashley, Bradley, Columbia, Craighead, Greene, Lafayette, Little River, Mississippi, Sevier, Woodruff, Conway, Crittenden, Drew, and Fulton.
