§ Ark. Code § 7-9-112Right of review

(a) If the Secretary of State determines that the signatures submitted on a statewide initiative
petition or statewide referendum petition are insufficient, the following persons may challenge
that determination by petitioning the Supreme Court to determine if the signatures are
sufficient:
(1) The sponsor of the statewide initiative petition or statewide referendum petition; or
(2) A registered voter.
(b) The Supreme Court shall act expeditiously to review the sufficiency of the signatures in a
timely manner and shall make every effort to reach a decision in advance of the election at which
the proposed measure would be considered.
(c)(1) If the Supreme Court decides that the signatures submitted on a statewide initiative
petition or statewide referendum petition are sufficient, the Supreme Court shall order the
Secretary of State to certify the sufficiency for placing the proposed measure on the election ballot
if the ballot title and popular name are sufficient.
(2) On a proper showing that the signatures are not sufficient, the Supreme Court may enjoin
the Secretary of State from certifying the proposed measure for inclusion on the ballot for the
election at which the proposed measure would be considered or, in the event that the proposed
measure will appear on the election ballot, from canvassing and certifying the vote on the
proposed measure.
