The Arkansas Green Party is not now on the ballot, even though it polled over 20% for U.S. Senate in 2008 and elected a state legislator. It will begin its drive to collect the required 10,000 valid signatures on March 20. The law requires the drive to be finished in 3 months. If the party wins its pending ballot access lawsuit, of course, it won’t need to complete this petition. The lawsuit challenges the law that says parties must be removed from the ballot after a presidential election, unless they poll at least 3% for President.
