Nearly 309,000 Arkansans cast ballot during first four days of early voting
Nearly 309,000 Arkansans have already cast their ballot in this year’s general election, in which citizens have the chance to vote for president, four congressional seats, a state Supreme Court chief justice, state treasurer, two statewide ballot initiatives and various legislative seats and local races.
The secretary of state’s office tracks daily voting records, but the information is delayed one day. The current data details ballots cast from Monday through Thursday.
“I think the high turnout in early voting is a bunch of people that are just ready to be done. That way they can tune it out,” said Chris Madison, director of the State Board of Election Commissioners.
For the second week of early voting, however, Madison predicts a slight dip in turnout.
