Hearing on Arkansas Bill to Move Primary from May to March is Postponed Again

Arkansas SB 276 would move the primary for all office from May to March. It would also move the petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties from January of the election year, to November of the year before the election. It was on the agenda in the Senate State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee for February 14, but the author, Senator Trent Garner, again didn’t bring it up. It had also been on that committee’s agenda for February 12, so that is twice that it has been postponed. It is now on the committee agenda for February 19.
