The 1934 Arkansas gubernatorial election was held on 6 November 1934, in order to elect the Governor of Arkansas. Incumbent Democratic Governor Junius Marion Futrell was re-elected against Republican nominee G. C. Ledbetter.[1]
The Democratic primary election was held on 14 August 1934. As Junius Marion Futrell received a majority of the votes (65.90%), a run-off was unnecessary.
On election day, 6 November 1934, Democratic nominee Junius Marion Futrell won re-election by a margin of 110,799 votes against his foremost opponent Republican nominee G. C. Ledbetter, thereby retaining Democratic control over the office of Governor. Futrell was sworn in for his second term on 10 January 1935.[2]
