Issue 1: Citizenship Requirement to Vote Constitutional Amendment
Source: arkansasonline.com
What does this measure do?
Adds 'only a citizen of the United States' may vote to the state constitution and bars noncitizens from voting in any Arkansas election. State law already limits voting to citizens, so nothing changes for eligible voters; no cost to you.
Proposed by: Arkansas General Assembly (House Joint Resolution 1018, Rep. David Ray and 36 co-sponsors)
Rep. Ray is a Maumelle Republican. He calls the amendment a preventive step to keep cities from ever letting non-citizens vote, though none in Arkansas has tried.

A YES vote means
The constitution would say only U.S. citizens may vote in any state or local election, blocking any city from letting noncitizens vote.
A NO vote means
Current rules stay: voters must already be citizens, but the constitution would not spell out the ban.
