No. 54 Sets Up Voter Registration
The Arkansas legislature debated Amendment 54 in a series on proposed constitutional changes for the November ballot. Backed by Gov. Faubus and Winthrop Rockefeller, it moves to a lifetime registration with yearly voting, allows registration up to 20 days before elections, and includes signature comparisons and periodic purges to curb fraud. Opponents cite cost and changes from poll tax practices, while advocates note similar plans in neighboring states.
