As early voting begins across Arkansas, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the 2026 Arkansas Ballot Issues Voter Guide before heading to the polls. Published by the Public Policy Center at the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, the guide provides reliable, research-based information to help voters make informed decisions on the four proposed statewide ballot measures.
The voter guide includes several resources: explanations of each ballot issue in a question-and-answer format, a checklist for marking how individuals intend to vote, arguments presented by both supporters and opponents of each measure, and the precise wording that will appear on the ballot. Printed copies of the guide are available in limited quantities at Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service county offices.
Voters can also view and download the guide online at uaex.uada.edu/ballot. Officials encourage residents to share the resource with friends and family to ensure broad access to this nonpartisan tool.
The Public Policy Center has been producing these voter guides since 2004 to help Arkansans navigate complex ballot questions with clarity and confidence. For further assistance, contact your local extension office or visit the university's website.
