A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CONCERNING THE QUALIFICATIONS TO VOTE IN AN ELECTION.

SJR 22 proposes a constitutional amendment to change voter qualifications in Arkansas. This bill would allow individuals who are seventeen years of age to vote in preferential primary and general primary elections. To be eligible, these 17-year-olds must otherwise be qualified to vote and will be eighteen years of age on or before the date of the general election. If approved by voters, this amendment to the Arkansas Constitution would become effective on January 1, 2027.
