AR HJR1001

Establishes a "top-two" primary election system where all candidates for primary, special primary, and nonpartisan offices appear on a single ballot regardless of party affiliation, with party labels displayed next to each candidate's name.

The top two vote-getters from the primary advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation, with the candidate receiving the most votes in the general election declared the winner.

Exempts presidential elections from the top-two system; instead requires the General Assembly to establish a presidential primary election based on party affiliation to select national convention delegates and a separate process for choosing presidential electors.

Applies the revised election process to federal congressional, state, county, municipal, local, and nonpartisan offices including judicial offices.

Becomes effective January 1, 2021, and applies to elections on or after January 1, 2022; requires voter approval at the next general election for Representatives and Senators.
