AN AMENDMENT TO THE ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION REQUIRING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ESTABLISH BY LAW A REVISED ELECTION PROCESS.

SJR 12 proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution to establish a revised election process for federal, state, county, and nonpartisan offices. This amendment would require a single ballot for primary elections, where all candidates appear regardless of party affiliation, and the top two vote-getters would advance to the general election. It also mandates a separate, party-affiliated process for presidential primaries to select delegates and for choosing presidential electors. These changes would not apply to municipal or other local offices.
