Ark. St. Bd. of Elec. Comm'Rs v. Pcec

Summary

The court vacated the circuit court’s declaration that Act 595 of 2013 was unconstitutional because no party had properly raised or developed that constitutional challenge. It affirmed the invalidation of the Arkansas State Board of Election Commissioners’ emergency absentee-voter rules because the rules created a cure procedure that the legislature had not enacted and therefore violated separation of powers. The court also held that the challenge to the Pulaski County Election Commission’s standing was waived because the circuit court had not ruled on it.
