This bill amends the Arkansas Constitution to establish specific regulations regarding the handling, reading, possession, or viewing of election-related data. It defines "election-related data" to include all information related to voters and the voting process, whether in paper or electronic form. The bill stipulates that from ten days before an election until the results are certified, only authorized individuals—such as county clerks, election commissioners, and Secretary of State employees—are permitted to access this data. Additionally, it declares that election-related data is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act of 1967 during this period.

The legislation also introduces penalties for violations of these regulations. A person who negligently allows unauthorized access to election-related data will face a Class A misdemeanor and be barred from serving as an election official in future elections. In contrast, those who intentionally permit such access will be guilty of a Class D felony and face similar disqualifications. This framework aims to enhance the security and integrity of election-related information in Arkansas.
