SB294

Senate Bill 294 amends Arkansas law regarding post-election audits conducted by the State Board of Election Commissioners. It maintains the existing process of selecting audit sites by lot, but introduces a new mandatory requirement for subsequent audits. Under the bill, if a county fails to achieve one hundred percent accuracy in a State Board of Election Commissioners audit during a preferential primary or general election, that county must be subjected to an audit in the next respective election. This legislative change aims to increase accountability for counties that have demonstrated inaccuracies in previous election cycles.
