Key 2026 general election dates

Dates below are paraphrased from the official pages linked on each line and were last checked against those pages on October 19, 2026. They can change. Arkansas Secretary of State — Elections publishes the current calendar. County voting hours vary. “Passed,” “Deadline today,” “In progress,” and “Upcoming” markers use only the date on the device. They ignore cutoff times and the state’s time zone, so a deadline marked for today may already have closed. The marker is not an official cutoff.

Voter registration

The calendar prints “October 4, 2026 – Sunday” as “30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE GENERAL ELECTION” and “Deadline to apply to register to vote in the General Election.” A note on the calendar says a Sunday deadline moves to the next business day. This page does not convert October 4 into another calendar date.

Questions about the Arkansas 2026 midterms

Short answers from the offices and race guides already linked on this page. Registration and voting rules are published by Arkansas Secretary of State — Elections.

What is on the Arkansas ballot in the 2026 midterms?
The Arkansas Secretary of State’s initiatives-and-referenda page, under proposed initiatives certified by the General Assembly, lists Issue No. 1, Issue No. 2, Issue No. 3, and Issue No. 4. Each issue file says the General Assembly refers it to a vote of the people on November 3, 2026. A candidate or office list for that general election was not retrieved as text on October 19, 2026, so this page does not name candidate offices. The initiatives page says “None for the 2026 General Election” under proposed initiatives certified by the Attorney General, and it says posting is not confirmation of circulation or of ballot placement. The four issues above are the General Assembly referrals, and each issue file says it will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

Arkansas Secretary of State — Elections publishes the official sample ballot, registration, and election rules. Vote.gov: Arkansas registration information. Map the Midterms does not look up voter records, issue sample ballots, or request mail ballots.
