Your Community. Voice. Power.
VOTE SoAR is a community-led organization working across South Arkansas to help neighbors understand the issues that affect them and make sure their voices are heard.
We believe every neighbor deserves a seat at the table.
People shouldn’t need a political science degree to understand the decisions shaping their daily lives.
Water systems. Flood risks. Roads. Local budgets. These are the things you live with every day.
VOTE SoAR connects neighbors so that communities can stay informed, get organized, and make their voices count where it matters most: locally.

What We're Working On
Water Infrastructure
$3.05 Million Is Ready. Our Community Deserves Answers.
The federal government approved $3.05 million to replace aging asbestos cement water pipes in Fulton. The funding exists — but this project should move forward with residents at the table, through a Community Benefits Agreement.
Flood Mapping
You Know Where the Water Goes. Let’s Make That Count.
Families in Fulton and McNab have experiences with flooding, drainage failures, and infrastructure challenges. VOTE SoAR is partnering with scientists to map flood risks using both expert data and the lived knowledge of people who know their community best.
Civic Engagement
Local Decisions Affect Everyday Life. You Have a Say.
The federal government approved $3.05 million to replace aging asbestos cement water pipes in Fulton. The funding exists — but this project should move forward with residents at the table, through a Community Benefits Agreement.
Become a VOTE SoAR Civic Buddy, a trusted local neighbor who:
- Shares important resources with friends and family
- Stays informed about what’s happening in our counties
- Steps up when the community needs a little extra help
You don’t need special skills.
You just need to care.
You choose your level of involvement. Some Civic Buddies simply share information with a few people they know. Others help at events or spread the word online. Every role matters.
