Handout About Elections in Arkansas Now Available in English and Spanish

by Kristin Higgins - January 10, 2022

People new to voting in Arkansas have a new resource for learning about what to expect when casting their vote.

The Public Policy Center on Monday released a handout in English and Spanish about elections in Arkansas. The materials were created at the request of an Arkansas library system that wanted more materials for Spanish-reading voters in their community.

Voter registrations are published in English and Spanish, but ballots on Election Day are only in English in Arkansas. The handout is a resource for new voters to learn in either language about when elections typically take place in Arkansas, the types of identification voters must bring, and what types of elections typically appear on ballots.
