The laws on hold include a requirement for voters to show photo ID before signing a canvasser's petition and a requirement for voters to read a ballot title before signing a petition. Canvassers face criminal charges if they allow voters to sign petitions without following those new laws.

Read Act 399 of 2025: arkleg.state.ar.us/Home/FTPDocu...

Act 399 lets districts skip hosting a full election complete with election workers and polling sites. Instead, the board can appoint a registered voter from their district to cast a single vote at a time, date and place determined by the county election commission.

Note: this change does not impact special elections related to bond issues or millage rates. Special elections can take place two times a year, including this November.
