Early voting for the May primary election starts Monday. Secretary of State Charlie Daniels reminded registered voters this week that early voting will go through May 17 and he encourages people to get to the polls. “Voting early is a great option for registered voters who cannot make it to the polls on May 18. With early voting, Arkansans have a couple of weeks, including two Saturdays, to find a good time to vote.”
Early voting, as usual in Cleburne County, will take place at the county courthouse on Main Street in Heber Springs. According to the Cleburne County Clerks office early voting hours will be Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays May 8 and May 15 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early voting will end early on May 17 at 5 p.m. Regular polling locations will open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. May 18.
If you haven’t registered to vote in the May 18 primary, you are out of luck. The deadline was April 19. Daniels said voter registration information can be verified online at www.votenaturally.org or by smartphone at www.sos.ar.gov/m. If any information is out of date or incorrect, voters need to notify their county clerk’s office.
A source for Arkansas voters is arkansasvotersguide.com. The website allows users to read about each candidate and answers they submitted to an Arkansas Voters Guide survey. The survey questions are shown, along with the candidate’s answers, photos, and answers and photos of their opponents.
The site has an abundance of information for all voters.
“Voters will have a choice among three different ballots in this election: Democratic Party, Republican Party, or Nonpartisan Judicial. While the judicial races are included on the party ballots, only the nonpartisan judicial races will appear on the nonpartisan judicial election ballot. Registered voters may choose any of the three ballots regardless of partisan affiliation.”
To take a sneak peek at the electronic ballots, look to pages 2A and 7A. The sample ballots shown are generic ballots that 95-percent of voters will see; there is a different ballot for voters in JP District 10 and a different one for voters in the Greers Ferry Mayor race. Voters in those areas will see the names listed as shown, plus the candidates that are unique for their area.
