If you haven't voted yet, today's your day. Polls in Craighead County are open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and K8 News reports you could be turned away without a photo ID. A driver's license, state ID or U.S. passport works.

“As long as they're in line at 7:30, they're allowed to vote no matter how long it takes. But they have to be in line at 7:30.”

Craighead County Clerk Mary Dawn Marshall

Turnout is up. K8 News counts 16,864 ballots cast in early voting, compared with just over 4,000 in the primaries. Before you go, confirm your registration on the Arkansas portal.

Getting the most votes doesn't automatically make a candidate the winner in every race, so some Arkansas races head to runoffs.

“We shot very poorly at the rim, we shot very poorly from the free-throw line, the three-point line and we found a way to beat a really good team, a really well-coached team.”

ASU Coach Ryan Pannone

The Red Wolves were picked first in the Sun Belt preseason poll, and Toledo had won the previous four meetings. ASU held the Rockets to 39.7% shooting, including 22.2% from three-point range.
