Early voting

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.
