Arkansas election officials are predicting 20 percent of the state's 1.6 million registered voters will cast a ballot in Tuesday's primary election.
In Pulaski County, Director of Elections Bryan Poe expects it to be a little under that.
"In our office, we are estimating between 15 and 18 percent. That translates to somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 registered voters, just about in line with previous primary elections, if not a little bit lighter," Poe said.
He also reports fewer people were taking advantage of early voting opportunities compared to previous years.
"We've had 7,044 people early vote through Saturday. For a comparable period in 2012, we had almost 7,800 people early vote," Poe said.
Polls open Tuesday at 7:30 a.m., with registered voters given 12 hours to cast a ballot before polls close at 7:30 p.m.
With a stay in place for a ruling that struck down the state's voter ID law, Poe said voters will need to bring photo identification.
