The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the abortion-rights amendment failed to meet paperwork requirements, preventing it from appearing on the November ballot, highlighting procedural challenges.
While organizers collected over 101,000 signatures for the amendment, they were ultimately denied eligibility as they did not submit required sworn statements about paid canvassers.
The ruling underscores Arkansas's challenging political landscape for abortion rights; it remains one of the most conservative states where a majority oppose abortion access.
With dissent from three justices, the ruling was made just as the state finalized its November ballot, showcasing the tight timeline and critical procedural hurdles.
