A Big Thank You &
You Still Have Time
Your email inbox is probably flooded with messages about Election Day. How about your social media? (We posted 37 times on Facebook about the Arkansas ballot issues over the past month!!!)

Thank you for reading and sharing our voter guide, for continuing to read our emails and visiting our website. 

Even after Election Day 2018 is over, we'll continue sharing with you every month who is interested in the 2020 ballot and what proposals get filed at the state capitol. Stay tuned -  #ARballot2020 is underway.

What are we voting on?

For the last time this election cycle, we offer a recap of the three statewide ballot issues Arkansas voters will be deciding on Election Day. Voting locations will be open Nov. 6 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. You can find our full voter guide at uaex.edu/ballot. 

Issue 2 - A constitutional amendment that would require Arkansans to present photographic identification when voting in person and via absentee ballot. 

Issue 4  - A constitutonal amendment that would allow casino gaming at one location in Jefferson and Pope counties, and at Oaklawn in Hot Springs and Southland in West Memphis.

Issue 5 - A state law that would increase Arkansas' minimum wage from $8.50 per hour to $9.25 per hour in 2019, then to $10 per hour in 2020 and to $11 per hour in 2021.

The Public Policy Center was established in 2004 to provide Arkansans with timely, credible, unaligned and research-based information and education about public issues. Public issues are defined as pressing and emerging issues that involve multiple points of view and have widespread consequences. Our goals are to:
  • Increase citizen knowledge, awareness and understanding of public issues;
  • Enhance public participation in decisions regarding public issues, and
  • Help citizens craft, evaluate and implement alternative solutions to public issues.
