SB 293 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE REQUIRED POSTINGS AT A POLLING SITE; AND TO AMEND THE LIST CONCERNING REQUIRED POSTING OF NOTICES, INFORMATION, AND MATERIAL AT A POLLING SITE ON ELECTION DAY.

SB 293 is a technical amendment to election law that updates the legal references governing required postings at polling sites. It modifies specific sections of the law (changing references from §7-1-103 and §7-1-104 to §7-1-103(a)(18)(B) and §7-1-104(a)(10)) but does not change the actual requirements for what notices or materials must be displayed. The bill directly affects election officials and polling locations by clarifying the statutory basis for posting requirements. It passed unanimously and became Act 487 on April 9, 2025, with no substantive changes to voter-facing procedures.
