Jester Issues Secretarial Directive Ordering Review of Election Security Procedures

(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) – On Thursday, January 23rd, 2025, Arkansas Secretary of State Cole Jester issued a Secretarial Directive to begin a review on the state's election security procedures.

Jester has directed the Chief Legal Counsel of his office to begin a top-to-bottom security review of the elections processes in this state. This review must include an assessment of our strengths, weaknesses, and any potential threats, while remaining concise and accessible to our citizens.

"Elections are the single most critical responsibility we have in this office," Jester said. "When elections are safe and secure, the people’s voice is heard. We have a strong legacy to build on, and we will continue to build each and every day."

All resources of this office will be made available to ensure the review is completed thoroughly and quickly.
