Arkansas Supreme Court reverses and remands ballot-committee case
On Oct. 31, 2024, the Arkansas Supreme Court reversed and remanded CV-24-587, Becky Lewallen in her official capacity as Washington County clerk v. Progress for Cane Hill, a local-option ballot question committee, and ordered the mandate to issue immediately. Justice Shawn A. Womack is listed as the author of the court's entry.

The court’s filing, delivered as a supplement to the Oct. 31, 2024 proceedings, notes that Special Justice Bilenda Harris-Ritter joined the opinion. Justice Wood concurred. Justices Baker and Hudson dissented. Chief Justice Kemp did not participate in the disposition.

The document does not state the court’s reasoning in the filing excerpt provided. The formal disposition—“Reversed and remanded”—and the instruction that the mandate issue immediately were the operative actions recorded in the court’s supplement.

The case will return to the Washington County Circuit Court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's order. The supplement identifies the case docket number as CV-24-587 and the parties as Becky Lewallen, in her official capacity as Washington County clerk, and Progress for Cane Hill, a local-option ballot question committee.
