The State Board of Election Commissioners amends the Rules of Procedure for Citizen Complaints Regarding Violations of State Election and Voter Registration Laws to bring the Rule into compliance with changes made by Act 279 of 2025. Act 279 of 2025 altered the deadline for which complaints can be filed with the State Board. Under the Act, the beginning period for filing a complaint was expanded from 45 days before an election to 49 days before election day. Further, the Act expanded the period after an election for which the Agency may accept a complaint. Under the Act, the deadline to file a complaint after an election is expanded from 40 or 45 days, depending on the certification deadline, to a consistent 49 days after the election. The Act expanded the deadline to complete investigations from 180 and 240 days respectively to 182 and 245 days. Lastly, the Act clarified when complaint files are subject to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act and clarified that State Monitor Reports are always subject to FOIA requests.
