(LITTLE ROCK, Ark.) – The Arkansas Secretary of State’s Office reminds voters that early voting for Preferential Primary Election races and Nonpartisan General Election races will begin on Tuesday, rather than Monday, due to George Washington’s Birthday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day.
In accordance with state law, state offices and county courthouses will be closed in observance of the state holiday, so early voting locations will open to voters on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at their regularly scheduled times and will last through March 2, 2026.
