Power belongs with Arkansas voters, Not Politicians.
If you believe voters should have the final say, you’re in the right place.
This is a nonpartisan, grassroots effort to protect and strengthen direct democracy in Arkansas through a constitutional amendment.
The Problem + Our Solution
For too long politicians have chipped away at your constitutional right to direct democracy because they don’t want us to be a policy making body with equal power.
Here’s What This Amendment Protects
It stops politicians from undoing what voters decide.
Once Arkansans pass a constitutional amendment, lawmakers cannot weaken or rewrite it behind closed doors.
It makes ballot language clearer and more fair.
Voters deserve honest, understandable explanations of what they are voting on - not confusing or misleading language.
It protects your right to stop bad laws through referendums.
If the legislature passes a law the people don’t agree with, voters retain the power to put it to a vote.
It requires transparency when emergency powers are used.
Lawmakers must follow clearer rules when claiming emergencies that bypass normal democratic safeguards.
It stops lawmakers from changing the rules to protect themselves.
Any new law that affects the initiative or referendum process must be approved by voters first.
It removes unnecessary barriers to collecting signatures.
The amendment streamlines the petition process while preserving penalties for fraud - making participation possible without weakening accountability.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This Is About More Than One Election
Your right to direct democracy is what protects you when the system fails.
It’s the tool voters use when elected officials won’t act - or won’t listen.
When access to that tool is restricted, power shifts quietly away from you.
This amendment makes sure that doesn’t happen.
