An Arkansas Senate committee advanced a series of election-related bills Tuesday ranging from ballot eligibility to campaign finance.
The Senate State Agencies and Governmental Affairs passed House Bill 1338, which raises the signature requirement for those running for president from 1,000 to 5,000 signatures in Arkansas.
Rep. Robin Lundstrum, R-Springdale, the bill’s sponsor on the House side, presented the bill to the committee.
