The Arkansas Constitution gives citizens the power to enact citizen-led policy changes, called ballot initiatives. But in 2021, the Arkansas Legislature referred an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution to limit the power of citizens and cripple future citizen-led ballot initiatives.

 

Politicians are, well, politicians. And they don't always like it when wildly popular citizen-led ballot issues are passed without them - like Arkansas's recent progress with in-state casino gaming and the legalization of medical marijuana. The Arkansas Legislature wants to tie citizens' hands and make policy victories like these harder - but the Arkansas Constitution disagrees. 

 

Join our campaign to defeat the Arkansas Legislature's over-reach. Arkansas's state motto is "Regnat populus," or "the people rule." Let's keep the power with Arkansas voters, and let's Protect AR Vote.
