Make your voice heard

As we approach Election Day 2026, this page will be updated with voting locations, frequently asked questions around voting, and a voter’s guide that lists every candidate that will be on the ballot.

For now, the first step is to register to vote. The deadline for registration is October 3, 2026.

Currently, forty-three states and Washington D.C., offer online voter registration. Arkansas is not one of them. To make the registration process easier, Get Loud Arkansas (GLA), a nonpartisan civic engagement organization, developed an online tool (the "GLA Easy Application") that populates responses to the Arkansas Secretary of State's paper voter registration form. Once submitted, GLA print and deliver the form to the appropriate election officials for you.

Please note: This is not an online voter registration portal. You are not registered to vote until the voter registration application has been accepted by your county clerk. Upon acceptance, you will receive a card in the mail confirming your voter registration status. You can also check your registration status online.

REGISTER TO VOTE

GLA Easy Voter Application

Arkansas Law allows a registered voter to apply to vote without having to appear in person at the poll.  This process is available to Voters who fall into one of the following categories:

  • You will be unavoidably absent from your polling site on election day, OR

  • You will be unable to attend your polling site on election day due to illness or physical disability, OR

  • You are a member of the Uniformed Services, merchant marines or the spouse or a dependant family member and are away from your polling location due to the member’s active duty status, OR

  • A U.S. citizen whose residence is in Arkansas but is temporarily living outside the territorial limits of the United States.
