An estimated 200 Pulaski County residents submitted voter registration forms at various voter drives across Arkansas’ most populous county Tuesday, according to preliminary data from the county clerk’s office.
The Pulaski County clerk’s office organized a “Vote Fest” event near its Little Rock office on Tuesday to recognize National Voter Registration Day. Seven other pop-up events were also held at colleges, universities and a high school in the heavily Democratic county where local organizations encouraged new voters to register themselves for the upcoming general election, educated some on restoring their voting rights and checked the registration status of others.
Arkansas’ deadline to register to vote is Oct. 7, which is about three weeks away.
