Arkansas officials getting ready for March 1

Today is the deadline for first-time Arkansas voters to register to vote in the March first primary election.  Voters can register at county clerks’ offices across the state.  Craighead County Clerk Kade Holliday tells KASU news there is an excitement about the primary being moved up this year.  He also has been using that point as an education tool to remind voters about the date change this year:
