ballots.1
(b) Additional Identification Requirement -
documentary identification in addition to proof of identity that certain

ballot's combination of contests and issues to be voted upon that is unique to
each precinct or part of a precinct.
(e) Challenged Ballot Form - the applicable
portions of a "provisional voter envelope" (see Attachment "A") that are
completed when a poll watcher challenges a voter, identifying the voter whose
vote was challenged, the poll watcher, the reason for the challenge, the
applicable provisional voter number from the list of provisional voters (see
Attachment "B"), poll, precinct, ballot style, and the date and time of the
challenge under the signature of both the poll watcher and the challenged
voter.

location selected by the county board of election commissioners with respect to
all elections for the processing and/or counting of
votes.3
(g) County Board of Election Commissioners -
the three-member board in each of the 75 counties in this State responsible for
conducting all elections within their respective county, including two members
elected by the county committee of the majority party and one member elected by
the county committee of the minority party or persons appointed by the state
chair of either the majority or minority parties to fill a vacancy in that
party's position.4
(h) Documentation from the Administrator -a
letter on facility letterhead, dated and signed by the administrator which
specifically identifies the full name of the resident in the body of the letter
and is valid for one year after the date it is signed and issued.
The letter issued by the administrator can be used by a resident of a long-term
care facility during early voting, on election day at a polling location, and
when voting by absentee ballot.5
(i) Election Clerk - for the purpose of these
rules, a person possessing the same qualifications as a poll worker who is
designated by the county board of election commissioners to process, count, and
canvass absentee ballots6 under the supervision of
the county board.

First-time Voter Registered by Mail - any registered voter, except those
exempted by Arkansas Code Annotated §
7-5-201(e)(2),
who has not previously voted in a federal election in the state and whose
registration application arrived at the county clerk's office or Secretary of

registered by mail" who do not provide identification when registering are
flagged by the county clerk for an additional identification requirement.
"First-time voters registered by mail" who provided a valid driver's license
number or the last four (4) digits of their social security number on their
voter registration application form are considered as having provided
identification if a state or local election official can match the driver's
license or social security number with an existing state identification record
bearing the same number, name and date of birth as provided in the
registration. Registration applications arriving in bulk by means other than
the mail at the registrar's office or delivered by leaders of voter
registration drives are considered to have been delivered in person, not by
mail, and are, therefore, not considered "first-time voters registered by mail"
and not flagged by the county clerk for the additional identification
requirement.

ascertain the identity of absentee voters for the purpose of challenging any
absentee vote. A candidate or an authorized of the Arkansas Secretary of
State's Rules on Voter Identification representative of a candidate or
political party may also be present at all counting sites for the purpose of

present in person during early voting only for the purpose of observing whether
or not votes are fairly and accurately
cast.11
(o) Poll Watcher Authorization Form - an
affidavit, in the form specified by law, designating and authorizing a poll
watcher. The "poll watcher authorization form" must be filed with the county
clerk and a file-marked copy presented to an election official immediately upon
entering the polling site, absentee ballot processing site, or counting site.

§
901
Documentary Voter Identification - Proof of
Identity
A. Failure to Provide
A person voting at the polls during early voting or on election
day who did not present proof of identity, or, if a resident of a long-term
care or residential care facility licensed by the state, who did not provide
either proof of identity or documentation from the administrator of the
facility attesting that the person is a resident of the facility, shall be
offered a provisional ballot.18
B. Additional Identification Requirement
A first-time voter voting at the polls during early voting or on
election day who registered by mail and who was flagged on the Precinct Voter
Registration List for compliance with the additional identification requirement
for such first-time voters shall be offered a provisional
ballot.19
C. Absentee Voters
The absentee ballot of a first-time voter whose name is flagged
on the precinct voter registration list for additional identification and who
does not submit with the absentee ballot a copy of current and valid photo
identification or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government
check, paycheck or other government document that shows the name and address of
the voter shall be considered as a provisional
ballot.20
§ 902
Precinct Voter Registration
List
A. Voter's Name Missing
When a voter provides his or her name, address, and date of birth
to a poll worker, and the voter's name is not on the precinct voter
registration list, the poll worker must:
1) Contact the county clerk's office to
verify the voter's registration status, and
2) Allow the voter to cast a REGULAR
ballot (if the county clerk informs the poll worker that the voter is
listed as a registered voter of the precinct), or
3) Allow the voter to cast a REGULAR
ballot (if the county clerk informs the poll worker that the voter
transferred his or her registration from another county not later than four (4)
days before the election and that the voter is at the correct poll in the new
county of registration),22 or
4) Send the voter to his or her correct
polling site where the voter may cast a REGULAR ballot (if the
county clerk informs the poll worker that the voter is listed as a registered
voter at a different precinct in the county), or
5) Allow the voter to cast a
PROVISIONAL ballot at the disputed polling site (if the county
clerk informs the poll worker that the voter is listed as a registered voter at
a different precinct in the county, but the voter insists that he or she is at
the correct polling site), or
6)
Allow the voter to cast a PROVISIONAL ballot (if the county clerk
is unable to verify the voter's registration, but the voter contends that he or
she is both registered in the precinct in which he or she desires to vote and
is eligible to vote).23
B. "Voted Absentee" Notation
Upon delivery of an absentee ballot to an individual authorized
to receive an absentee ballot, the county clerk shall mark the electronic voter
registration record and the precinct voter registration list to indicate that
an absentee ballot has been delivered to the voter under the procedures in this
section.24
Any person to whom an absentee ballot is delivered according to
the precinct voter registration list, but who chooses to vote by early voting
or to vote at his or her polling site on election day, shall be permitted to
cast a provisional ballot at the poll.
§
903 Poll Watcher Challenges
A. Official Recognition/Credentials
Poll watchers representing a candidate, group, or political party
must file a "poll watcher authorization form" (see Attachment "C") with the
county clerk of the county in which the polling site, absentee ballot
processing site, or counting site is located and present a file-marked copy of
the valid form to the election officials immediately upon entering the polling
site, absentee ballot processing site, and/or counting
site.26
A candidate may not be present in person at the polls on election
day as a poll watcher. A candidate may be present in person as a poll watcher
during the counting and tabulation of ballots and the processing of absentee
ballots.27
A candidate may be present in person at early voting locations
only for the purpose of observing whether or not votes are fairly and
accurately cast, but a candidate may not challenge voters as a poll watcher
during early voting and may speak only to a designated poll worker. A candidate
who is present in person at an early voting location for the purpose of
observing may not speak to voters or disrupt the orderly conduct of the
election. A candidate who is a public official and who is present in person at
an early voting location for the purpose of observing shall not wear on his or
her person any uniform, badge, or other apparel or equipment that identifies
the candidate as a public official.
A candidate who is present in person at an early voting location
for the purpose of observing or during the counting and tabulation of ballots
and the processing of absentee ballots as a poll watcher
is not required to present a "poll watcher authorization form",
but must present some form of identification to an election official
immediately upon entering the site.
Only one (1) authorized poll watcher per candidate, group, or
party at any one (1) time may be officially recognized as a poll watcher at
each location within a polling site where voters identify themselves to
election officials and at each location within the absentee ballot processing
site where absentee ballots are processed.
Only one (1) authorized poll watcher per candidate or party at
any one (1) time may be officially recognized as a poll watcher at the counting
of ballots at the polling site, central counting location, or absentee ballot
counting location.
Poll watcher rights and responsibilities must be posted in plain
view at each polling site, absentee ballot processing site, and counting
site.
B. Challenges
Authorized poll watchers who are officially recognized at a
polling site may stand close enough to the place where voters check in to vote
so as to hear the voter's name and may challenge an ineligible voter upon
notifying a poll worker of the challenge before the voter signs the precinct
voter registration list and upon completing a "challenged ballot form" (see
Attachment "A").32
A poll watcher may challenge a voter only on the grounds that the
voter is not eligible to vote in the precinct or that the voter has already
voted in the election.
When election clerks appointed by the county election commission
to process, count, and canvass absentee ballots read the name and voting
precinct of an absentee voter, any qualified poll watcher may challenge the
vote in the same manner provided by law for personal voting challenges, and the
election clerks must consider the absentee ballot as a provisional
ballot.34
§ 904
Court-Ordered
Extension
A person who votes in an election as a result of a federal or
state court order or any other order extending the time established for closing
the polls may vote in the election only by casting a provisional ballot. The
provisional ballots cast as a result of the order must be separated and held
apart from other provisional ballots cast by provisional voters not affected by
the order.35
§ 905
Voting a Provisional
Ballot
Provisional ballots cast at the polls during early voting or on
election day shall be handled as follows:
1) If as a result of a poll watcher
challenge, the poll watcher must notify a poll worker of the challenge before
the voter signs the precinct voter registration list and must complete a
"challenged ballot form" (See Attachment "A"), and a poll worker must inform
the voter that his or her ballot is being
challenged36
2) If as a result of failure to meet an
identification requirement, a poll worker must inform the voter of the reason
the voter is not allowed to cast a regular ballot.
3) The provisional voter must execute a
written eligibility affirmation in the presence of the poll worker stating that
he or she is both a registered voter in the precinct in which he or she -in
desires to vote and eligible to vote in the
election.37
4) The poll worker shall initial the back of
the ballot, remove the ballot stub from the provisional ballot, and place the
stub in the stub box provided.
5)
The provisional voter shall mark his or her ballot.
6) The provisional voter shall place his or
her voted ballot in a ballot secrecy envelope marked "PROVISIONAL BALLOT" and
seal the envelope (nothing else goes in this
envelope).40
7) The provisional voter shall then place the
sealed ballot secrecy envelope marked "Provisional Ballot," containing his or
her voted provisional ballot in a "provisional voter envelope", seal it, and
give it to the poll worker.41
8) The poll worker must provide the
provisional voter a copy of the notice prescribed in §906
(a).42
9) The poll worker must make and retain a
separate list of the names and addresses of all persons casting a provisional
ballot (see Attachment "B").43
10) The poll worker must preserve, secure,
and separate all provisional ballots from the remaining
ballots44 and forward all sealed "provisional voter
envelopes" in a secured container provided for that purpose to the county board
of election commissioners after the polls close.
11) The county board of election
commissioners will forward in a secured container the sealed "provisional voter
envelopes" to the county clerk's office for completion of the certification
portion of the envelope.
12) Upon
completion of the certification portion of the envelope, the county clerk
returns the secured container of sealed "provisional voter envelopes" to the
county board for determination before certification of the election results as
to whether the provisional ballots are valid and should be
counted.45
For absentee ballots which become a provisional ballot, the
absentee ballot clerk shall place the absentee ballot materials in a
provisional voter envelope and state the reason for making the absentee ballot
provisional on the form provided on the provisional ballot envelope (Attachment
"A").
§ 906
Notice to Provisional Voters
(a)
Whenever a person casts a provisional ballot at the polls during early voting
or on election day, the poll worker must provide the voter a copy of a notice
that includes the following information: That the provisional voter will be
notified whether his or her vote was counted and the reason if not counted by
first class mail.46
-That a provisional voter who cast a provisional ballot for
failure to present proof of identity may present proof of identity or an
affidavit of indigence or religious objection to the county clerk or the county
board of election commissioners by noon of the first Monday following the
election in order for the provisional ballot to be counted;
-The address, telephone number, and regular office hours of the
county clerk;
-The dates of any meetings of the county board of election
commissioners scheduled before noon of the next Monday following the election;
An explanation of the provisional voting process; and
-The date, time, and address of a hearing for the voter if the
provisional ballot is rejected.
(b) The system that the Secretary of State
has established for provisional voters to be notified whether their ballot was
counted requires written notice mailed first class to the provisional voter by
the county board of election commissioners. Sample notices may be obtained from
the Secretary of State's office. The notice shall include the following:
A statement whether the provisional ballot was counted or was not
counted;
If the provisional ballot was preliminarily determined to be
invalid, the reason the ballot was not counted; and
The date, time, and address of a hearing by the county board
regarding the voter's eligibility to vote in the election.
(c) Access to information about an individual
provisional ballot shall be restricted to the individual who cast the
ballot.
§ 907
Review of Provisional Ballots
The county board of election commissioners shall determine
whether provisional ballots are valid before certifying the
election.48
The county board shall examine the sealed outer "provisional
voter envelope" (see Attachment "A"), including the challenged ballot portion,
if any, the eligibility affirmation of the provisional voter, and the county
clerk's certification of the provisional voter's registration status without
unsealing the outer "provisional voter envelope" or removing or opening the
inner ballot secrecy envelopes marked "PROVISIONAL BALLOT" containing the
provisional voter's voted ballot.
Based upon the examination of the sealed outer "provisional voter
envelope" and any additional information available, the county board shall make
a determination of whether the provisional ballot
was cast by an eligible voter and was the correct ballot for the
precinct of the voter's residence according to the precinct listed on the
voter's eligibility affirmation.49
The county board must complete the disposition portion of the
"provisional voter envelope" and notify each provisional voter by first class
mail as to whether or not his or her provisional ballot was counted.
If the county board makes a preliminary determination that the
provisional ballot will not be counted, the county board must notify the
provisional voter of the reason for rejecting the provisional voter's ballot
and of the date, time, and place for a hearing and other information as
provided in these rules before a final determination is
made.50
When the information on the outer "provisional voter envelope"
indicates that the voter cast a provisional ballot for both failure to present
proof of identity and another reason, the county board shall first determine
whether the voter is eligible to vote in the precinct. If it is determined that
the voter who cast a provisional ballot for failure to provide proof of
identity and for another reason is eligible to vote, or if the provisional
ballot was cast only for the reason that the voter failed to present proof of
identity, then the county board shall count the ballot if proof of identity or
an affidavit of indigence or religious objection has been provided to the
county board or the county clerk by noon of the first Monday following the
election.
When reviewing the provisional ballot of a first-time voter who
registered by mail and did not meet the additional identification requirement
when registering or voting, the county board should not base its preliminary
determination of whether or not to count the ballot solely on the provisional
voter's failure to meet the additional identification requirement. The
provisional ballot should be rejected only if the voter failed to provide proof
of identity and there is a determination, independent of the failure to meet
the additional identification requirement, that the person who voted is not
eligible to vote in the precinct.
When reviewing the provisional ballot of any person who was
delivered an absentee ballot according to the precinct voter registration list,
but then chose to cast a provisional ballot at an early voting or election day
polling site, the county board shall:
1) Count the voter's absentee ballot rather
than the provisional ballot cast at the polling site, if the absentee ballot
was returned and processed for counting on election day before the time of
counting provisional ballots, or
2)
Count the voter's provisional ballot cast at the polling site, if the voter's
absentee ballot was not returned or was not processed for counting on election
day by the time of counting provisional ballots.
§ 908
Hearing
Provisional voters shall be allowed to appear before the county
board to contest the county board's preliminary decision to disqualify their
ballots and to present evidence that they were registered to vote and voted the
correct ballot for the precinct of their residence or, if applicable, that they
presented proof of identity during early voting, on election day or by noon of
the first Monday after the election.
If these provisional voters do not appear for a hearing or
otherwise provide satisfactory evidence of their registration status or proof
of identity, then the ballot shall not be counted.
The commission then completes the election commission's portion
of the list of provisional voters form (see Attachment "B"), and all records
are preserved in accordance with the laws governing preservation of ballots and
election materials.
The process of hearing and final decision must be completed by
the deadline to certify the election results.
§ 909
Counting Provisional
Ballots
Unless enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, a
provisional ballot shall be counted if:
1) It is cast by a registered voter and is
the correct ballot for the precinct of the voter's residence according to the
precinct listed on the voter's eligibility affirmation;
2) It is cast by a registered voter who
failed to present proof of identity at a polling place during early voting or
on election day but who presents proof of identity or an affidavit of indigence
or religious objection to having his or her photograph made to the county clerk
or the county board no later than the first Monday following the election;
or
3) It is an absentee ballot and
the county board determines that the voter is eligible to vote in the precinct.
51
In counting provisional ballots, the county board must ensure the
secrecy of the ballot pursuant to Amendment 81 of the Arkansas
Constitution.
Provisional ballots are counted as follows:
1) the commission completes the election
commission's portion of the list of provisional voters form (see Attachment
"B"),
2) an election official opens
the outer "provisional voter envelope" (see Attachment "A") for those on the
list marked to be counted (see Attachment "B"),
3) the election official removes the sealed
inner ballot secrecy envelope marked "PROVISIONAL BALLOT" containing the
provisional voter's voted ballot,
4) the election official places the sealed
inner ballot secrecy envelope marked "PROVISIONAL BALLOT" containing the
provisional voter's voted ballot in a ballot box provided for that
purpose,
5) when all the outer
"provisional voter envelopes" have been opened and all the sealed inner ballot
secrecy envelopes placed in the ballot box, the election official shakes the
ballot box thoroughly to mix the sealed envelopes containing the provisional
ballots,
6) the ballot box is then
opened, the secrecy envelopes containing the voted provisional ballot opened,
and the provisional ballots canvassed and counted, and
7) all records are preserved in accordance
with the laws governing preservation of ballots and election
materials.
§
910
Prosecuting Attorney
Following each election, the county board of election
commissioners may review the precinct voter registration lists for voters not
providing identification at the polls and forward the information to the
prosecuting attorney for investigation of possible voter fraud.
52
If, upon examination of any provisional ballot, the county board
suspects that a violation of election laws has occurred, the county board may
refer the matter to the prosecuting attorney for that
county.53
§ 911
Preliminary and Unofficial
Results
The processing and counting of provisional ballots, including
hearings, shall not delay the declaration of preliminary and unofficial results
required by Arkansas Code Annotated §
7-5-701.
When reporting preliminary and unofficial results, the county board of election
commissioners should also report the number of uncounted provisional ballots
pending review and the number of outstanding overseas absentee ballots.
§ 912
Official
Certified Results
The official certified results of the election shall include the
votes cast on all provisional ballots that were determined by the county board
of election commissioners to be valid.
