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

Summary

The court vacated the circuit court’s declaration that Act 595 was unconstitutional because that issue had not been pleaded or adequately developed by the parties. It affirmed the invalidation of the Arkansas State Board of Election Commissioners’ emergency absentee-voting rules because the Board exceeded its authority by creating a cure procedure that the legislature had not enacted, violating 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.
