HB1325

House Bill 1325 amends Arkansas state law regarding early voting procedures. The bill establishes that if a county board of election commissioners chooses to utilize additional early voting polling sites beyond the county clerk's office, those sites must, by default, operate during the same hours as the primary early voting location. It requires that the locations of these additional polling sites be determined by a unanimous vote of the county board of election commissioners. If it is impossible to secure an additional site that can accommodate the exact hours of the primary location, the bill mandates that the hours at the additional site must be as close to the primary site's hours as possible. The primary purpose of the bill is to standardize early voting hours across all authorized polling locations within a county.
