How does mail-in voting work? What's the difference between a circuit judge and a county judge? How can everyday citizens make a difference in the democratic process?

Those questions and other civic tidbits are the focus of the Arkansas Civic Minute, hosted by Little Rock Public Radio's Josie Lenora. Tune in each week for a new feature looking at our civic duty as residents of Central Arkansas, and how being informed can help you make informed decisions at the ballot box and beyond.

Support for the Arkansas Civic Minute is provided by Civic Arkansas, a Winthrop Rockefeller Institute program. As a nonprofit convenor, the Institute looks to strengthens civic health by putting people first, removing barriers to participation, and supporting community-led solutions for a more connected civic culture.
