SB272

Senate Bill 272 amends Arkansas law regarding voter registration applications by modifying provisions of Amendment 51 of the Arkansas Constitution. The bill mandates that voter registration forms must be delivered to applicants with the party affiliation field left blank. Furthermore, it explicitly prohibits any voter registration form from containing a pre-filled party affiliation field. The primary purpose of the legislation is to ensure that voters must manually indicate their party preference rather than having it pre-selected or pre-filled by the registration entity. This change applies to the administrative process of providing and processing registration materials.
