The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution that would allow the Governor to fill certain vacancies in elective offices through appointment. Specifically, it seeks to amend Amendment 29, Section 1, to state that vacancies in the offices of United States Senator, Representative in Congress, and all elective state, district, circuit, and township offices—excluding the offices of Lieutenant Governor and members of the General Assembly—would be filled by the Governor's appointment.
If approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, this amendment would take effect on January 1, 2027. The resolution also includes a ballot title and popular name for the amendment, which emphasizes the Governor's role in filling these vacancies.
