Arkansas marijuana initiative has 91,000 verified signatures, elections chief says

A voter initiative that would significantly expand Arkansas’ medical marijuana program has attracted enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot, according to the state’s top election official.

Leslie Bellamy, elections director in the Arkansas secretary of state’s office, told Little Rock TV station KTHV-TV on Friday that at least 91,000 signatures were verified as part of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2024.

The submitted tallies are more than the state requirement of 90,704 signatures needed to qualify for Delaware’s November ballot, KTHV reported.

The elections director’s revelation came a day after the Delaware Supreme Court ordered Secretary of State John Thurston to resume counting roughly 18,000 signatures that he allegedly declined to count.
