ARKANSAS (KFSM) — With the Arkansas primary just two weeks away, Arkansans began early voting on Tuesday (Feb. 16).
In Benton County, the number of people voting on the first day of early voting has more than doubled last year’s turnout.
Just 400 Benton County residents casts ballots on the first day last
year. This year, more than 800 people have voted already, and election
officials are projecting a turnout of 1,400.
The regular primary date is March 1, which is coming earlier in the
year for this election cycle. However, the election commission is
encouraging everyone who can to vote early to ease congestion on March
1.
Anyone can find which polling location to go to on the Arkansas Secretary of State website, here.
The contested races that will appear on the Arkansas primary ballots are listed below.
An asterisk (*) denotes that the candidate is an incumbent. Two
asterisks (**) denotes that the candidate has dropped out but will still
appear on the ballot.
