 In a letter Wednesday, Arkansas Secretary of State's office announced the decision to reject the Arkansas abortion amendment of 2024. Secretary of State John Thurston said sponsors did not submit two specific pieces of paperwork, a list of paid canvassers, and a document proving the canvassers had access to the signature gathering handbook. The amendment was sponsored by a group called Arkansans for Limited Government, who said they had collected over 101,000 signatures.
