LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Polls are open for Arkansas voters casting ballots in this year's primary election.

Polls opened at 7:30 a.m. and will close at 7:30 p.m. at precincts across the state. If a voter is in line at 7:30 p.m., he or she can still cast a ballot.

With the Republican presidential primary all but locked up, the race for an open seat in Congress headlines this year's primary ballot. In the 4th District, three Republicans and three Democrats are seeking their parties' nominations.

Republicans say they believe they can win the 4th District this fall after Democratic Rep. Mike Ross' decision to not seek a seventh term.

Three Democrats are also running for the chance to challenge freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford in east Arkansas' 1st District.
