Arkansas voters will decide Issue 1, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, on November 3, 2026. The measure would revise Article 3 to state explicitly that only U.S. citizens meeting elector qualifications may vote in state or local elections, replacing broader phrasing with exclusive language intended to bar noncitizen participation. The Republican-led legislature referred the proposal in 2025 amid a national wave of similar citizen-only voting amendments. A March 2025 poll showed 70 percent support among likely voters, and no organized opposition has emerged to challenge passage. Secretary of State findings of minimal noncitizen registrations on rolls have reinforced arguments for a preventive constitutional safeguard, producing trader consensus that the ballot measure will pass.
