The State Board of Election Commissioners amends the Rule for Verification of Voter Registration to include procedures for the verification of the identity of voter assistors who accompany a voter to the poll for the purpose of assisting a disabled voter in the act of marking and casting his or her ballot. See A.C.A. § 7-5-310(d) (as amended by Act 593 of 2025). The Amendment includes procedures and parameters for the verification of an assistor chosen by the voter’s identification. There are three categories of identification requirements, first is an assistor who presents an identification that complies with Amendment 51 parameters such as an Arkansas Driver’s License, U.S. Passport, Military Identification etc. The second category would be for an assistor who presents an out of state identification, such as a daughter assisting her mother in voting, but the daughter drove over from Oklahoma and presents an Oklahoma driver’s license. The last category is when an assistor does not have a photo identification, in that case, the assistor will execute an affidavit verifying, under penalty of perjury, that they have provided correct identifying information.
