ARKANSAS, USA — As election results and information come pouring in on election night, learn what you need to know with Arkansas political experts and the 5NEWS team during our live election coverage streaming all night.
Tuning into Channel 5 will bring you live national coverage from CBS, but to get a closer look at what's going on in the Natural State, watching nonstop local election coverage on 5+ (which is free!) is where you'll want to be.
The coverage starts at 6 p.m., where we'll have a streaming-only newscast that will lead into the 5NEWS election night coverage ending at around 11 p.m. Anchors Daren Bobb and Alexandra Burnley will be joined by reporters live across the area along with political experts Dr. John C. Davis and Dr. Williams Yamkam who will analyze national and local election results in real time.
You may also see some throwback archival footage from the 80s and 90s with special 5NEWS election-themed vault episodes.
