The Arkansas Secretary of State has determined that all presidential petitions have enough valid signatures. There were three for presidential party status, and four independent petitions. Both types of petition needed 1,000 signatures. The presidential party petitions were for the Constitution Party, the Green Party, and Better for America. The independent petitions were for Rocky De La Fuente, Jim Hedges, Tom Hoefling, and Lynn Kahn.

Arkansas has three ballot-qualified parties (for all office): Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican.
