TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING VOTER REGISTRATION; TO PROHIBIT PRE-FILLED FIELDS ON A VOTER REGISTRATION FORM IN CERTAIN INSTANCES; AND TO AMEND PROVISIONS OF ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION, AMENDMENT 51, § 6.

SB 272 prohibits pre-filled party affiliation fields on Arkansas voter registration forms, requiring these fields to remain blank for applicants. The bill directly affects voters registering to vote in Arkansas by ensuring they actively choose their party affiliation rather than having it pre-selected. It amends Arkansas Constitution Amendment 51, Section 6, to implement this change in voter registration procedures. The bill became law as Act 278 on March 12, 2025.
