An Amendment to the Arkansas Constitution to provide that lottery proceeds may be used to fund or provide scholarships and grants to Arkansas citizens enrolled in vocational-technical schools and technical institutes 

Arkansas senators and representatives voted to place Issue 1 on the 2024 General Election Ballot. The Arkansas Constitution grants the legislature the right to include up to three constitutional amendments on the general election ballot.

Constitutional amendments currently require the approval of a majority of voters in a statewide election. Election Day is Nov. 5, 2024. 

Rep. Robin Lundstrum of Elm Springs and Sen. Jane Enlgland of North Little Rock

On Election Day, the ballot will show only the popular name and ballot title of this issue.

Every proposal has more text to it that further describes the proposed law. Read the complete text of Issue 1, or HJR1006 as it was previously known, on the legislature's website.
