Supreme Court of Arkansas

Arkansas Voters First, a Ballot Question Committee Bonnie Miller

August 27, 20202020 Ark. 265

Summary

The court dismissed as moot the petitioners' challenge to the State Board of Election Commissioners' rejection of the proposed open-primary amendment's popular name and ballot title. A companion decision held that the criminal-background-check affidavit was fatally deficient for both amendments, leaving neither with enough valid signatures for ballot placement; therefore, a ruling on the Board's decision would have no practical legal effect.
