Aubrey, Arkansas Public Records

Arkansas residents can complete voter registration online through the Arkansas Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.arkansas.gov/elections/voter-information/voter-registration. The state requires registration to be finalized at least 30 days before any election. To qualify, applicants must be U.S. Citizens and Arkansas residents, at least 18 years old by election day, and cannot be currently adjudicated as mentally incompetent or a convicted felon who hasn't completed all sentence terms including probation and parole (Arkansas Constitution Amendment 51). Registration requires an Arkansas driver's license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. As an unincorporated community without municipal government, Aubrey has no city council elections, mayoral contests, or town-specific ballot measures. Instead, residents participate in county-wide elections for Lee County offices including County Judge (the chief executive of county government), Sheriff, County Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor, Coroner, and Justices of the Peace for their district. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the Arkansas Voter View system at https://www.voterview.ar-nova.org/voterview, where they enter their name and date of birth or address to check registration status, view polling assignments, access sample ballots, and review election information. The system also displays voter history and district assignments for state legislative and congressional races. Under Arkansas public records law, voter registration lists can be inspected and purchased from the County Election Commission, though commercial use restrictions apply. Campaign finance reports for state and county candidates are filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission and available for searching online at https://www.arkansasethics.com. Candidate filing details, ballot language for referred measures, and precinct-level results are public records accessible through the County Election Commission and the Arkansas Secretary of State's Elections Division The county historically leans Democratic in most contests, consistent with Arkansas Delta voting patterns, though Republican candidates have gained ground in recent cycles. Arkansas will hold gubernatorial elections that year, as the Governor serves four-year terms with the most recent election in 2022. All four of Arkansas's House seats will appear on the ballot, with Aubrey situated in Arkansas's 1st Congressional District. All 100 Arkansas House of Representatives seats and 18 of the 35 Arkansas State Senate seats (which serve staggered four-year terms) will be contested. Lee County voters will also decide county constitutional offices if 2026 aligns with the Lee County election cycle, which typically occurs in presidential years, making major county races more likely in 2024 or 2028; however, special elections, justice of the peace positions, or school board seats may still appear in 2026. Arkansas permits absentee voting by mail for voters meeting specific criteria under Arkansas Code Annotated § 7-5-402, including those who will be unavoidably absent from their polling site on election day, those who are ill or physically disabled, election workers assigned elsewhere, and active duty military and overseas citizens. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Lee County Election Commission and can be downloaded from the Secretary of State's website. Applications must reach Lee County Clerk by 5:00 p.m. The day before the election, though earlier submission is encouraged. Completed ballots must be returned by the close of polls on election day, either by mail (postmarked by election day and received within seven days) or delivered in person. The state also provides early voting beginning 15 days before any election and ending the day before election day at locations designated by the County Election Commission, typically Lee County Courthouse or election office. Early voting hours are set by the Lee County Board and generally include extended hours and weekend availability.
