LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Early voting is an easy way for Arkansans who won’t be able to make it to the Nov. 8 general election to cast their vote.

Early voting in Arkansas begins on October 24 and can be done every day except Sunday. Voters can find an early voting location and hours by checking with the Secretary of State VoterView website.

Early voting takes place from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. It will run until November 7, the Monday before the general election on Tuesday.

Early voting procedures are identical to voting on election day. Voters should come to the polling station with a government-issued photo ID. The election official will also ask for your name, address and date of birth.

The last step before voting is to sign the electoral roll for your unit.

You can also update your voting records at an early voting location if, for example, your name or address has changed.

Once the paperwork is done, it’s time to vote. The pollster will show you to the voting machine and you will have five minutes to cast your vote.

The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m
