As the United States approaches the 2026 primary election cycle, election officials in Washington County have confirmed the polling locations and early voting sites where residents can cast their ballots on March third and during the advance voting period.

In Washington County, Arkansas, the Board of Election Commissioners has set a schedule of early voting locations ahead of the county’s preferential primary and nonpartisan judicial elections on March third.

Early voting begins on February seventeenth and continues through March second, with multiple venues designated to ensure broad access.

Sites include the Washington County Courthouse at 280 North College in Fayetteville, the Alumni House at the University of Arkansas, the American Legion in Springdale, Elkins Community Center, Elmdale Baptist Church and the Fayetteville Public Library.

Most of these locations are open for expanded weekday hours, with select weekend availability, providing voters with flexible opportunities ahead of Election Day.

On the day of the primary itself, all registered voters who have not participated in early voting will vote at their assigned precinct polling sites across the county, which are determined based on residential address.

This comprehensive planning reflects local officials’ efforts to promote accessible civic participation in the 2026 electoral cycle.

Voters are encouraged to verify their correct polling location and hours with the Washington County election office or their local board of elections prior to casting a ballot.

Registered voters can also take advantage of absentee and early voting provisions if they are unable to attend in person on Election Day, subject to applicable registration and submission deadlines.

Ensuring that polling sites are well-staffed and easily reachable remains a priority for election administrators in preparation for the upcoming primary election.

With early vote sites operating ahead of March third and Election Day approaching, Washington County voters are positioned to engage fully in the democratic process at convenient local locations across the region.
