Petition Drive Deadline Looms

Time Is of the Essence for Our Rights, Children’s Education

Arkansas voters statewide are being asked for their help in getting two proposed amendments to the state constitution on the November general election ballot. Not just to sign petitions but to gather signatures. We are talking about the Arkansas Ballot Measure Rights Amendment and the Education Rights Amendment. Petition deadline is Friday, July 3, 2026.

Info sheets about the two proposed amendments are at the bottom of this post.
