LITTLE ROCK, AR — (BrooklandNews.com) — Jan. 9, 2025 — Arkansas Secretary of State Cole Jester announced Friday his findings of over 1,000 duplicate voter registrations.

In a statement, Jester’s office confirmed 1,267 individuals are registered to vote in both Arkansas and either Tennessee or Alabama, and that whichever registration is inaccurate will be removed.

“These findings underscore why this work matters. The data is real, the duplicates are documented, and we are acting on it. This is exactly why Arkansas pursued these agreements—to identify problems and address them before they undermine confidence in our elections,” Jester said.

The findings follow a partnership between Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas to share voting data.
