The Hancock store replaces the Hot Springs Mall as the early voting location for south Hot Springs. It will also be a vote center on Election Day when voters can select from one of more than 20 locations to cast ballots.

The commission voted to remove the mall as a polling site at its Oct. 2 meeting to avoid any controversy caused by the county’s Republican Party committee headquarters’ proximity to the polling location.

The mall was used as an early voting location and an election day vote center in the May primaries. The 1,239 ballots cast there made it the third most frequented of the county’s four early voting sites.
