Jefferson County Election Commission; Ted Davis; Stu Soffer; Cynthia Sims; Will Fox; Patricia Johnson, Appellants V…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas dismissed the appeal as moot because the 2014 primary election had already occurred without certified winners and no candidates appeared on the certified ballot for the impending general election. The court held that the circuit court's oral announcement concerning the mayor's four-year term could not support review because it was not reduced to a written order. Accordingly, neither the mootness exceptions nor the declaratory-judgment issue provided a basis for appellate review.
