On March 30, the Arkansas Senate State Agencies & Government Affairs Committee passed SB 860, which makes it more difficult for initiatives and referenda to get on the ballot. See this story. Among other things, the bill makes it a crime for any voter so sign a petition twice. Many times, individuals sign a petition twice because they don’t remember that they had already signed it. This is especially true for initiative petitions, when the petition drive may be ongoing for many months.
