Credit Arkansas Senate
A bill that would have established an online voting registration system in Arkansas failed to pass the state Senate on Thursday.
Under the bill, citizens in Arkansas, who have conducted business with the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles, would have had the ability to register to vote through an online system.
Citizens would have to submit their application at least 30 days before an election in order to qualify to vote in said election. They would also have to provide a current driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number.
The bill also requires Arkansas Secretary of State to go through voting registration data before each election and identify and purge from the rolls any listed voter who is deceased by comparing data received from the Social Security Administration.

Biden has yet to announce his pick, and other candidates such as former National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling are reportedly under consideration. The White House has said it will appoint Young as acting OMB director as an interim step if she s confirmed for the deputy role.
The partisan split in the Wednesday-morning HSGAC vote came as somewhat of a surprise after Young received largely glowing reviews from Republicans who had worked with her as staff director for the House Appropriations Committee.
Some GOP senators said they had intended to vote for Young but were troubled by her written answer on support for repealing the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds from being used for abortions.
