Arkansas Elections and Early Voting

It's election time again, and now more than ever, it's important for everyone to get involved. First, please note that Early Voting in Arkansas has begun. Details below:

• Early voting begins at 8am on Monday, October 20th and ends at 5pm on Monday November 3rd.
• The hours for early voting are 10am - 6pm Monday through Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturday.
• The location varies by county. Most counties offer early voting at the county clerk's office and some off-site locations. Check out your local paper for details.

If you have any questions concerning early voting, please contact the Arkansas Secretary of State Election Department by email (electionsemail@sosmail.state.ar.us) or by phone (501-682-1010).

Also, besides the obvious offices we're voting on, there are five other issues on the ballot you might not be familiar with. The Fayetteville Flyer has a great page that breaks down these issues into terms that we can all understand and that will hopefully help you make your decisions. Note, even though this information is found on the Fayetteville Flyer's site, these are statewide issues and not specific to NWA.

Happy voting to all.
