Early voting is over in Louisiana. According to the Secretary of State's office, 340,000 people voted early.  That's a 25 percent jump since 2008.

In Arkansas, early voting continues until next Monday.

The Union County Clerk's office has seen more that four thousand people show up to the polls since early voting began last Monday.

There are five voting machines available, but space is limited with how many votes they can hold so officials say they may have to reduce the number of machines to two.

"The wait lines are going to get longer probably Friday, Saturday, and Monday, but we do try and expect to move it through as fast as possible." 
 
Early voting in Arkansas ends Monday at 5:00 at the Union County Courthouse.
