Two Months Needed to Draft Young Voter Law Changes
Little Rock officials note any amendment allowing 1B and 1-year-olds would still require about two months before Arkansas begins incorporating them. State selective director Compere said most current eligibles keep quotas while awaiting questionnaires to be processed for younger registrants. He estimated 20 to 25 percent of those aged 18 to 19 would be rejected, unlike prior months with no rejections. About 35,000 Arkansans 18 or 19 registered in June. Compere projected roughly 1,250 per month would reach age 20 and become eligible.
