County officials across Arkansas have sent out notices to remind state residents who did not vote in the past election to update their registration information. Baxter County Clerk Canda Reese says a federal law mandates counties in odd number years to send out confirmation and cancellation mailings to those who haven’t voted in a recent election or provided updated information to the clerk’s office to get their voter registration up-to-date.
Reese says a large number of mailings are going out.
