The bill amends existing laws regarding the required postings at polling sites on election day in Arkansas. It specifies that certain notices, information, and materials must be posted continuously until the polls close. Key insertions include the requirement for a public notice of election, the inclusion of concise abstracts of measures on the ballot, and additional postings related to voter assistance and electioneering. The bill also mandates that poll workers produce and post printouts from voting machines showing that counters register zero, and it introduces new requirements for postings during preferential primary elections, including information about crossover voting.

Additionally, the bill updates the language concerning the rights and responsibilities of poll watchers, ensuring that this information is posted at absentee ballot processing and counting sites as well. It removes outdated references to the Attorney General's election law violation hotline, replacing it with the Election Integrity Unit. The amendments aim to enhance transparency and provide voters with essential information to ensure a fair and informed voting process.
