The Arkansas Lower Age Requirement to Register Historic Vehicles from 45 Years to 25 Years Initiative was not on the ballot in Arkansas as an initiated state statute on November 5, 2024.
This measure would have lowered the age of a vehicle from 45 years to 25 years to register it as a historic or special interest vehicle and obtain a special or antique license plate.[1]
Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot title for this initiative would have been as follows:[1]
| “ | An initiated act to amend the law regarding the age at which certain vehicles can be registered as historic or special interest; current law allows a person who is the owner of a historic or special interest vehicle or a facsimile of a historic or special interest vehicle that is 45 years or older to register the vehicle as a historic or special interest vehicle and to obtain a special license plate or an antique license plate for the vehicle; this initiated act would lower the minimum age requirement of the vehicle from 45 years to 25 years.[2] | ” |
Path to the ballot
The state process
In Arkansas, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated state statute for the ballot is equal to 8 percent of the votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. Proponents must collect signatures equaling at least half of the designated percentage of gubernatorial votes in at least 50 of the state's 75 counties. Signature petitions must be submitted four months prior to the election at which the measure is to appear.
The requirements to get initiated state statutes certified for the 2024 ballot:
- Signatures: 72,563 valid signatures
- Deadline: The deadline to submit signatures was July 5, 2024.
If the secretary of state certifies that enough signatures were submitted in a petition, the initiative is put on the ballot. If a petition fails to meet the signature requirement, but the petition has at least 75 percent of the valid signatures needed, petitioners have 30 days to collect additional signatures or demonstrate that rejected signatures are valid.
Details about this initiative
- David E. Dwinwiddie filed the initiative. Attorney General Tim Griffin approved the ballot language for the initiative on February 2, 2024.[1]
- Sponsors did not submit signatures by the deadline.
