The emergency relief granted a motion to expedite, meaning Thurston will have until Monday, July 29 to perform the initial count of signatures collected by volunteer canvassers and provide the state supreme court with the findings.
The state Supreme Court also said a part of the motion of emergency relief could grant the petitioner, Arkansans for Limited Government, a thirty-day provisional cure period, meaning they will have 30 days starting Monday to collect the signatures they think they will need to fulfill the requirements for it to go on the ballot this November.
A similar issue happened when medical cannabis was legalized. There were two competing amendments. The more popular amendment had more allowances. After the deadline for signatures, the state threw out whole pages for any issues with any signature they found.
So all that was left was the more restrictive amendment.
