Now is the time: Check your voter registration. Even if you have voted in the most recent elections, still check it. If you have recently registered, moved across county lines (even if you transferred your registration), or changed names (even if you updated your registration), be sure your registration, transfer, or update has been received and approved by the County Clerk at least 30 days before the next election.
The sources that have this information are the Arkansas Secretary of State and the Jefferson County Clerk, both listed here. In case you find a problem with your registration, additional contact information follows.
