Protect the People’s Power in Arkansas
When politicians try to rig the rules to silence voters, the Arkansas Ballot Measure Rights Amendment protects our constitutional right to act for ourselves. Will you join the fight to protect our rights?
What The Amendment Does
Arkansans have a constitutional right to act when lawmakers won’t. This amendment protects that right by safeguarding the ballot initiative process.
It protects the right to:
Propose ballot measures
Collect petition signatures
Sign petitions
Simply put: when politicians won’t act for the people, the people must be able to act for themselves.
-
In 2025 alone, Arkansas lawmakers passed 13 new laws designed to make citizen-led ballot initiatives harder — or impossible — to use.
These laws:
Add unnecessary red tape to signature gathering
Give politicians new power to block initiatives before voters ever see them
Punish grassroots campaigns for minor technical mistakes
If we don’t act now, Arkansas could lose one of its most important democratic tools.
-
For over a century, Arkansans have used ballot initiatives to pass commonsense policies when politicians failed to act, including:
Raising the minimum wage
Creating college scholarships
Setting ethics and term limits
Limiting the influence of big money in politics
Ballot initiatives let voters — not lobbyists — decide what’s best for our communities.
This Is Our Moment to Act.
Passing the Arkansas Ballot Measure Rights Amendment is how we stop politicians from taking our power. We need your help to do it.
