Arkansas Supreme Court Restores Statewide Initiative to the Ballot

On September 22, the Arkansas Supreme Court placed a statewide initiative concerning marijuana on the ballot. Election officials had acknowledged that it had enough valid signatures, but still had refused to put it on the ballot because they felt the description of the measure was misleading. The Court disagreed and said it isn’t possible for a Ballot Title for an initiative to include everything relevant.

Here is the Opinion in Armstrong v Thurston, cv-22-482. The vote was 5-2.
