Didn’t Arkansas already have a central voter registration system?
Arkansas first instituted a statewide voter registration system in 1996. Although it standardized the process for recording voter data, the mechanism essentially performed as 75 separate systems using the same software. County clerks maintained their own information and could not share data across county lines, making it more difficult to track voters who moved within the state. New HAVA regulations required Arkansas to upgrade its voter system to become a secure, uniform, centralized database of registered voters that is defined, maintained and administered by the state.
