TO AMEND THE ELECTION LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS; AND TO AMEND ARKANSAS LAW CONCERNING NOTICES RELATED TO THE ELECTION PROCESS.

SB 414 modifies Arkansas election procedures by requiring county clerks to send election commissioners a written oath notice via registered mail within 30 days of their selection. It also mandates that county clerks notify political party committee chairs about candidate ballot filing deadlines at least 100 days before general elections, using registered mail or certified mail. The bill allows email notification (with read receipt) as an alternative method if both political parties agree in writing. These changes directly affect county clerks, election commissioners, and political party committees involved in election administration.
