Voter sign-up deadline nears

The deadline to register to vote in the upcoming May 22 primary is April 23. Crittenden County Clerk Carolyn Byford will accept voter registration cards until the close of business that date. Mail-in voter registration applications must be postmarked by April 23. Voters who have recently moved need to update their voter registration information by the same date.

Changes in party affiliation for the primary election were due by Dec. 31 of last year. Voters who changed their party affiliation after that date are not eligible to vote in partisan races in the primary.
Minors who will be 18 years old on or before the Nov. 6 election are eligible to register and entitled to vote in the upcoming primary.
