TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING COMPLAINTS OF ELECTION LAW VIOLATIONS; AND TO AMEND THE DEADLINES FOR COMPLAINTS OF ELECTION LAW VIOLATIONS.

SB 291 extends the deadline for filing election complaint filings with Arkansas' State Board of Election Commissioners. It allows complaints about election violations (including voter registration, absentee ballots, or ballot tabulation) to be submitted up to 49 days after an election, instead of the previous 30-day window. The bill also sets a 182-day timeline for the Board to complete investigations and mandates that complaint records become publicly available 30 days after the Board's final decision. This directly affects voters, candidates, and election monitors who file or respond to election-related complaints.
