Group resubmits proposal to use paper ballots in Arkansas elections

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A group that wants Arkansas elections to be conducted with paper ballots — and also to put greater restrictions on absentee voting — has resubmitted proposed constitutional amendments to the state attorney general.

The group Restore Election Integrity resubmitted the pair of proposed amendments to Attorney General Tim Griffin, KARK reported.

It is the group’s latest attempt to try to get the proposals before voters. The attorney general’s office previously rejected the proposed amendments for having vague or conflicting language.

If the ballot language is approved, Restore Election Integrity would need to collect 54,422 signatures from 50 counties to get the measure on the 2024 general election ballot.
