ArkansasState Board of Election Commissioners passes an emergency rule barring electronic sigs on voter reg forms

The State Board of Election Commissioners approved an emergency rule Tuesday that bars election officials from accepting voter registration forms signed with an electronic signature. The rule comes after non-profit Get Loud Arkansas helped registered voters with electronic signatures, prompting conflicting views on the legality of the practice from the State Board of Election Commissioners and the attorney general’s office, which said it was legal. Instead, under the emergency rule voters will have to register to vote by signing their name with a pen in what is referred to as a “wet signature.” Neal Early, Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
