Scope of Rules
These rules will set forth the procedures for training members of the county boards of election commissioners in the 75 counties in the State. These rules are in addition to and not a substitute for the laws of the State of Arkansas.
The qualifications4 of a member of the county board of election commissioners as determined by the General Assembly5 are as follows:
Each member of the county boards of election commissioners shall attend either a comprehensive training program conducted by the State Board of Election Commissioners before the regularly scheduled preferential primary election or an advanced training program conducted by the State Board of Election Commissioners after each regular legislative session.6
Any member of a county board of election commissioners who has not served on the commission during the previous preferential primary and general elections and previously attended the comprehensive training program conducted by the State Board of Election Commissioners must attend the comprehensive training program.
A member of a county board of election commissioners shall attend additional interim training if deemed necessary and appropriate by the State Board.
Upon completion of training conducted by the State Board of Election Commissioners:
Attendance by county election coordinators is optional, and compensation for attending training will not be provided by the State Board.
The State Board may withhold funding for county election commissioner training attendance from any county that fails to comply with the rules and guidelines developed by the State Board for the administration of election commissioner training, until all requirements are met to the satisfaction of the State Board.8
The State Board of Election Commissioners will provide training materials to each county election commissioner attending training.
