The proposed amendment to the Arkansas Constitution mandates that the General Assembly create a revised election process for general elections, special elections, and elections for nonpartisan offices. This new process requires that all candidates for a primary election, regardless of political party affiliation, be listed on a single ballot. The two candidates receiving the most votes in these elections will advance to the general election, ensuring that party affiliation does not determine who progresses. Additionally, the amendment outlines specific procedures for various election types, including provisions for unaffiliated candidates and the handling of situations where only one or two candidates file for an office.

Furthermore, the amendment stipulates that it will not apply to municipal or local elections, nor to presidential primary elections, which will still be based on party affiliation. The General Assembly is tasked with enacting laws necessary for implementing this amendment, including candidate filing processes and election procedures. The amendment is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and will apply to elections occurring on or after January 1, 2028. The resolution will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection in the next general election.
