The 2026 Arkansas Voter Guides are in! These guides provide non-biased explanations for all four issues in this year’s election. The guides are available at the Lawrence County Extension Office, Lawrence County Courthouse, Lawrence County Library, Lynn Library, Imboden Library, and Portia City Hall. I am including a link that you can follow that will take you to the Public Policy page where you can download the guide. The guide is also available by scanning the QR code on the voter guide cover that is pictured here.
This year there is a special issue here in Lawrence County regarding a proposed increase in the current property tax rate to benefit the county road department. The UA Division of Agriculture Public Policy Center prepared a fact sheet for this issue specifically for the residents of Lawrence County.
These voter guides are a tremendous asset when determining how you want to cast your vote. They include what a “For” or “Against” vote means, quotes from supporters and those in opposition, and how this would affect your tax bill among other things.
October 5th is the last day to register to vote in this election. Early voting starts on October 19th with the General Election taking place on November 3rd. The following link will take you to the page where you can download the voter guide.
