flag Arkansas Democrats sue governor over delayed House election, citing violation of 150-day state law.

flag The Arkansas Democratic Party sued Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Secretary of State Cole Jester on October 21, 2025, over the delay of the special election for House District 70 until June 9, 2026, arguing it violates state law requiring elections within 150 days of vacancy. flag Plaintiffs claim the governor exceeded her authority by setting dates beyond the legal window, depriving voters of representation during the 2026 legislative session. flag The lawsuit seeks to compel an election by March 3, 2026, and challenges the governor’s unilateral control over primary and general election dates. flag The case also questions the scheduling of a separate Senate special election, with the governor’s office defending the timeline as cost-effective and secure.
