Election date

Issue 1: Citizenship Requirement to Vote Constitutional Amendment is a ballot measure in Arkansas on the November 3, 2026 ballot. 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.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: Average · 50 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 3,049,391 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(3,049,391 ÷ 3,049,391) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in AR (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
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.
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.
