The Arkansas Length of Terms for County Officials Amendment is a proposed initiated constitutional amendment to the Arkansas Constitution that, if enacted, will extend the terms of county officials from two to four years.
If the measure passes, it will extend 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.
The measure is supported by a group called Sheriffs for Four-Year Terms Committee, which in turn is supported by the Arkansas Sheriffs Association. They have until July 2, 2010 to collect 74,468 signatures to qualify the measure for the November 2010 ballot in Arkansas.
Dustin McDaniel, Arkansas Attorney General, certified a ballot title for the measure in June 2009, clearing the way for supporters to start their petitioning process.[1]
