Voter Registration Information

Due to the influx of people who have moved into Arkansas and the surrounding counties, the following may be helpful information to residents:

 

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN ANOTHER STATE OR COUNTY:

If you have moved to Arkansas from another state, notify the voter registrar in your previous state of residence to request cancellation. Be sure to submit a new registration application to your county clerk in Arkansas.

FAQ: If one has multiple residences in different states and spends time at both during the year, which residence should be used to determine where to register and vote?

ANSWER: This is a decision you will have to make, but you must choose only one voting location. Many factors affect residency, but in general, your residence is where your family lives, where you physically reside, the place you intend to return to live, where your driver’s license says you live, where you claim your homeowner’s property tax exemption, etc.

 

If you have moved from one county to another within Arkansas, you must transfer your registration to your new county of residence.

 

For questions about transferring your registration, or if you are a college student and have questions about your place of registration, you can contact the MARION COUNTY CLERK’S OFFICE at 870-449-6226.
