The Arkansas Length of Terms for County Officials Amendment did not appear on the November 2, 2010 ballot in the state of Arkansas.
The measure would have extended the length of terms for county sheriffs, county judges, county clerks, circuit clerks, county treasurers, county collectors of taxes, county assessors, county coroners, county surveyors and constables to four years.
The measure was supported by a group called Sheriffs for Four-Year Terms Committee, which in turn was supported by the Arkansas Sheriffs Association. They had until July 2, 2010 to collect 74,468 signatures to qualify the measure for the November 2010 ballot in Arkansas. However, the Arkansas Attorney General rejected the proposition because of ambiguities in the submitted text.[1][2]
