This election cycle’s Primary Election Day is Tuesday, March 5. Early voting in this Primary Election begins February 20.
In Arkansas, both the Democratic and Republican parties conduct their Primary Elections on these days. A voter may only vote in one party’s Primary Election. Each party chooses the candidates it wants to appear under the party name for the November General Election ballot. Everyone votes on the same ballot during the General Election.
Nonpartisan judge positions are also being voted on during the Primary Election. The choices for these nonpartisan positions are the same on both the Democratic and Republican ballots. If one chooses to vote only the nonpartisan ballot, one will only be able to vote on these nonpartisan judge positions. Candidates from all parties will not appear on this ballot. Again, a voter may only vote in one party’s Primary Election.
