Early voting began Tuesday for an election asking voters to extend the Jacksonville/North Pulaski School District's school tax rate.

The extension of the district's millage rate is designated for raising money to build new schools.

The Jacksonville/North Pulaski election also includes two uncontested races for School Board seats. Marcia Dornblaser and Ronald McDaniel are incumbents running for re-election.

Early voting is available on weekdays at the Pulaski County Regional Building, 501 W. Markham St., Little Rock, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until May 20. Early voting is available Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Jacksonville Community Center, 5 Municipal Drive, Jacksonville.

Statewide, early voting also begins Tuesday for Arkansas school districts that choose to have their annual school board and tax elections this month rather than in November.
