The Republican State Convention met on Saturday June 8th and adopted a rule to close the Republican Party Primary. The rule applies only to the Republican primary election and obviously has nothing to do with the general election. Under the rule, a voter would need to declare that the voter is Republican before voting in the Republican primary. During the first election cycle a voter would be allowed to make that declaration on the day of voting.
Will a change in Arkansas law be necessary before the Republican Party can close its primary? Attorney and Election law expert Clint Lancaster joins Conduit to answer that question and more.
