Medical Marijuana on Arkansas Ballot, Votes Won't Be Counted

The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled Monday that votes cast in the November election for a proposed medical marijuana amendment will not be counted because the popular name and ballot title are misleading.

According to multiple media reports, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2024 will still appear on the ballot as Issue 3 because the signature verification process was still ongoing on Aug. 22, the deadline for when all candidates and sufficient ballot issues had to be certified to the counties for the ballot. However, the Arkansas Supreme Court’s ruling means any votes cast for the measure will not be counted.
