Sanders gives updates for House District 70, Senate District 26 special election to comply with Arkansas court's ruling

ITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has complied with the Arkansas circuit courts' October 31, 2025, ruling and issued a proclamation setting dates for a special election for State Representative for District 70 and for State Senator for District 26.

“The court has ruled that I must set special election dates that would give overseas military members insufficient time to vote, violating Arkansas law and potentially invalidating the entire election,” said Governor Sanders. “While I object to this ruling, I will comply with the court’s order and remain confident that on appeal, the law plainly giving me the authority to set special elections will be upheld, ensure our elections are free, fair, and secure, and protect the right to vote for our heroes who put their lives on the line to keep us free."
