Arkansans Have Local Ballot Issues to Decide

Depending on the community you live in, you may see a local ballot issue when you go vote.


Special elections, such as sales taxes, bond issues, or wet/dry alcohol elections, can now take place only twice a year under state law. In a presidential-election year, special elections are allowed the second Tuesday in March or November.

Our goals are to:

  • Increase citizen knowledge, awareness and understanding of public issues;
  • Enhance public participation in decisions regarding public issues, and
  • Help citizens craft, evaluate and implement alternative solutions to public issues.
