Fort Smith is divided into four wards. Each ward elects one director; the mayor and three at-large directors are elected by the whole city. Type your address and this reads the city's own ward map and the county's own precinct map to tell you which ward you are in, who represents it, where you vote, and which state and federal districts you are in.
On the ballot on Tuesday 3 November 2026: the mayor, at-large Positions 5, 6 and 7 — all three at-large terms expire on 31 December 2026 — and the change-of-government measure the Board of Directors voted onto the ballot on 18 August 2026, which would move Fort Smith to a mayor-council form of government. The four ward directors are not up until 2028.
