Vacancies
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed underArticle 6, Sections 12 to 14.
If the elected governor resigns, dies, is removed, or is otherwise unable to discharge the office, the lieutenant governor is the first to succeed, serving as the governor until an election is held. The lieutenant governor also serves as acting governor if the incumbent is temporarily unable to exercise the office. The next in line is the speaker of theArkansas House of Representatives. In Arkansas, the lieutenant governor also serves as thepresident of the Arkansas State Senate.
If the next scheduled general election is more than 12 months away when the acting governor assumes office, she or he must call a special election, with a minimum of 60 days notice, run according to the same rules that administer a regular election.
Duties
The governor is the commander-in-chief of all the state's military and naval forces except when either force is already under federal command.
The governor must deliver periodic (traditionally annual) addresses to the legislature. These "State of the State" speeches concern the condition of the state and includes the governor's recommendation for specific policies and steps. He is required to deliver one such address at the end of his official term.
The governor has veto power over all legislative actions, including appropriation bills, concurrent orders and resolutions. In the case of orders and resolutions, the gubernatorial veto does not extend to an order to adjourn the legislature. Lawmakers may override a gubernatorial veto by a simple majority of both houses.
TheArkansas Constitution grants the governor, "power to grant reprieves, commutations of sentence, and pardons, after conviction; and to remit fines and forfeitures, under such rules and regulations as shall be prescribed by law." This power does not extend to cases of treason or impeachment. In cases of treason, the governor may grant reprieves with the advice and consent of the Senate. The governor must inform the legislature each time she or he grants a pardon, along with the reason for doing so.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- issuing and authorizing all commissions and grants made by the state
- calling extraordinary sessions of the legislature
- adjourning either regular or extraordinary sessions of the legislature when the two houses are unable to pass a concurrent resolution to adjourn
- filling vacancies in the offices of Treasurer of State,Secretary of State, Auditor of State, andAttorney General, as well as any other offices that become vacant without an explicit legal course for filling the vacancy

History
The firstArkansas Constitution, ratified in 1836, established four-year terms for governors and the requirement that they be residents of the state for 10 years before election. The fifth constitution in 1874, following the American Civil War and Reconstruction, limited the executive's power while lowering gubernatorial terms to two years and changing the residency requirement to seven years. Amendment 63 to the Arkansas Constitution, passed in 1984, increased the terms of both the governor andlieutenant governor to four years. A referendum in 1992 limited a governor to two consecutive four-year terms.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Arkansas State House of Representatives for the first 21 years while the Republicans were the majority for the last year. The Arkansas State House is one of 18 state Houses that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. The final year of the study depicted a shift in the Arkansas House of Representatives which changed to Republican control for the first time.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.

Arkansas has ranked in the bottom-10 of the SQLI ranking for each year of the study. Its highest ranking (41st) occurred in the early 1990s under a Democratic trifecta, while its worst ranking (47th) occurred in 1999 and 2000 under divided government. 2013 was the first year in which Arkansas’s divided government included a Democratic governor and Republican legislature. In all other years of divided government, Arkansas had a Republican governor and a Democratic legislature.
