On September 26, the Arkansas Green Party turned in 17,197 signatures. Assuming there are at least 10,000 valid signatures, the Green Party will then be a qualified party in Arkansas, able to nominate for all partisan office in the state, by convention.

The Arkansas Libertarian Party expects to turn in its presidential party petition on September 27. That type of petition entitles a group to be ballot-qualified just for the presidential election, and only requires 1,000 signatures. The Arkansas Constitution Party will also be turning in that type of petition shortly.
