SBEC Bars Electronic Signatures on Voter Registration Forms
The State Board of Election Commissioners approved an emergency rule Tuesday that bars election officials from accepting voter registration forms signed with an electronic signature.
The emergency rule and its accompanying declaratory order state Amendment 51 of the Arkansas Constitution, which established the state's voter registration regime, only allows for certain state agencies -- the Office of Driver Services, state revenue offices, public assistance and state-funded disability programs -- to accept electronic signatures. The emergency rule included an amendment proposed by Bilenda Harris-Ritter, the Republican Party designee on the board, adding "as set forth in Amendment 51."
Following the meeting, radical leftists are already screaming 'voter suppression' in regards to the SBEC ruling. A former Democratic state senator is even attempting to raise money off the issue. We here at the Republican Party of Arkansas support strong election integrity laws, and want to make it easier to vote, but harder to cheat.
As you see this story and others regarding the SBEC emergency rule and their work on a permanent rule, help us fight the leftists narrative by reminding Arkansans it is not voter suppression to uphold and follow the state constitution.
