When you enter early voting or an election site, the poll worker will ask you which ballot you want.  You must tell them

Democratic ballot, which has the contested District 94  state representatives race on it;

Republican ballot, which includes the county judge and county clerks races; or

Nonpartisan ballot, which contains only judicial and school board races. (The judicial and school board races {where contested} will be on all ballots.)

Basically, you cannot vote on both ballots. It’s the law.

Monticello police chief Jason Akers, has filed for the position of Monticello Mayor, as a non-partisan candidate.

His recent announcement for the position is posted here.

Other candidates filing for office, so far, include
Bart Gregory, Mayor,
Whit Barton, city attorney, and
Claudia Hartness, alderman, Ward 2, Pos. 2.

“Judge Robert Akin is the strong conservative voice that Drew County deserves to keep in office.

Judge Akin is well respected at the Capitol for his knowledge of county operations and his strong advocacy for Drew County and South Arkansas.

He works well with the legislature and works tirelessly to promote and advance Drew County.

I am proud to call Judge Robert Akin a friend and encourage you to join me and support him for re-election.”
