阿肯色州投票日：州长桑德斯寻求连任，四项全州提案同表决
11月3日，阿肯色州大选投票日到来，全州投票站从上午7时30分开放至晚上7时30分，选民须到指定投票站投票。州长选举方面，现任共和党州长莎拉·赫卡比·桑德斯寻求连任，对手包括民主党人弗雷德里克·洛夫和自由党人科尔特·谢尔比；联邦层面，全部4个国会众议员席位也同日改选，其中第二选区现任议员弗伦奇·希尔对决民主党人克里斯·琼斯。
此外，选民还要对四项全州选票提案投票：第一项界定谁有资格在阿肯色州投票，第二项涉及持有和携带武器的权利，第三项允许州议会动用公共资金设立项目、贷款、补助和经济发展区，第四项则授权发行最高5亿美元的水务、废物处理和污染治理债券。提前投票已于10月19日开始、11月2日下午5时结束，州务卿办公室提醒选民可通过“选民查看”网站核对登记状态、投票地点和样本选票。
地方层面，各县市也有自己的选票议题，例如是否批准地方销售税或调整市议会选举方式，选民投票前应先看清自己选区的样本选票。如有县市级选举需要第二轮投票，州定日期为12月1日。

Arkansas Election Day: Gov. Sanders Seeks Re-election as Voters Decide Four Statewide Ballot Issues
Arkansas polls were open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on November 3, and voters had to cast ballots at their assigned polling places. Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders sought re-election against Democrat Frederick Love and Libertarian Colt Shelby. All four U.S. House seats were also on the ballot, including the 2nd District, where Rep. French Hill faced Democrat Chris Jones. Voters decided four statewide ballot issues: Issue 1 defines who is qualified to vote in Arkansas; Issue 2 concerns the right to keep and bear arms; Issue 3 would let the legislature use public funds for projects, loans, grants and economic development districts; and Issue 4 would authorize up to $500 million in water, waste-disposal and pollution-control bonds. Early voting ran from October 19 to 5 p.m. on November 2, and the Secretary of State urged voters to check their registration, polling place and sample ballot on the Voter View site. Counties and cities also had local questions such as sales taxes and council election methods, and any required local runoffs are set for December 1.
