flag A federal judge has blocked Arkansas from enforcing new election laws that restrict ballot initiative processes, citing constitutional concerns over voter access and free speech. flag The preliminary injunction halts provisions requiring detailed affidavits from petition gatherers, limiting ballot titles to an eighth-grade reading level, and allowing signature invalidation for minor errors. flag The ruling, issued by Judge Timothy Brooks, found these rules could unconstitutionally hinder citizens’ ability to propose legislation. flag The decision applies to groups that sued over the laws, including the League of Women Voters of Arkansas, and remains in effect while the case proceeds. flag The state is reviewing the ruling, and a full trial is expected.
