Arkansas ranks last in the U.S. in both voter turnout and registration, according to a federal report on the 2020 election that was published last month.

The Natural State also had the highest absentee ballot rejection rate of all 50 states, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission's biennial report showed.

Arkansas, a state with a population of just over 3 million, had 1.4 million active registered voters in 2020, and the total voter turnout was about 1.2 million.

Just over 54% of Arkansas' eligible voting age population turned out to vote in 2020, the lowest proportion of any state.
