HB 1039 by Representative A. Collins

Summary:

This bill adjusts the deadlines and procedures for submitting absentee ballot applications and returning absentee ballots in Arkansas.

Key Changes:

• Absentee Ballot Application Deadlines:
  • The bill moves several deadlines from Friday before election day to the day before election day, giving voters and intermediaries more time to submit applications and deliver completed ballots.
• Delivery Location Change:
  • Removes the words "physical office" of the county clerk for delivery and just states it must be delivered to the county clerk.
