ARK: Bud Walton Arena approved for early voting in Washington County
The Washington County Election Commission on Tuesday voted to approve turning Bud Walton Arena into an early voting center this year.
All registered voters in Washington County can cast early votes at the arena on the University of Arkansas campus from Thursday Oct. 22 through Saturday, Oct. 24.
Jennifer Price, executive director of commission, said she visited with university officials and toured the arena Monday in preparation for Tuesday’s vote.
Parking for voters has long been a concern when considering an on-campus polling site, Price said, but school officials have agreed to suspend ticketing during the three-day early voting period for anyone without a parking pass in three nearby parking lots – Lot 60, 62 and 56B.
“When we were there, there were spaces available in those lots,” said Price. “And (voters) won’t have to worry about having a visitors pass or anything like that.”
