2. Box 6 - ID Number: Your completed voter registration form must contain your Arkansas driver's license number or nonoperating identification number. If you do not have a driver's license or nonoperating identification, you must include the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have a driver's license or a nonoperating identification or a Social Security number, please indicate "NONE" on the form. A unique identifying number will be assigned by the State.
3. Box 7 - Choice of Party: You are NOT required to register with a party to participate in Arkansas partisan primary elections. However, you must state the party primary you intend to vote in. If you don’t want to cast a party ballot, you may choose to vote in the nonpartisan races only.
4. Box 8 - Race or Ethnic Group: Leave blank. This information is not required.
5. Review the "Who can register to vote?" section above and check that you're eligible.
6. Sign the form.
7. Send the completed form to your local election office.
8. If you are submitting a voter registration application by mail, are registering for the first time in your jurisdiction, and you do not have a valid Arkansas driver’s license number or Social Security number, you must submit with the mailed registration form:
   • current and valid photo identification
   • or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address.
   • If you do not submit an approved form of identification with your application, you must provide one when you vote for the first time.

3. It is never too early to submit an FPCA! Please do so as soon as possible.
4. Please fill out and send back your ballot as soon as you receive it.
5. States begin mailing absentee ballots at least 45 days before Election Day. If you haven't received your ballot by 30 days before Election Day, contact your local election office.

• You can still vote using the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Print, sign, and mail your FWAB to your local election office.
• If you mail a FWAB and then receive your regular absentee ballot, you should complete and mail your absentee ballot also. Election officials will ensure that only one ballot is counted.
