Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment
Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment
Arkansas · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Provide that "Only a citizen of the United States ... may vote in an election in this state"
A yes vote means
The state constitution will explicitly require U.S. citizenship to vote in state elections.
A no vote means
The state constitution will not be changed, and voting citizenship requirements will continue to be set by regular state laws instead.
Simple explanation
Right now, your state's voting laws probably already require people to be U.S. citizens to vote. This measure would add that requirement directly to the state constitution, making it a constitutional rule instead of just a regular law. It's like moving an important house rule from a notebook into the official deed.
