Case Notes
Construction.
This section largely is a restatement of language found in Acts 1957, No. 205, § 1, the 1957 Compulsory Primary Act; § 7-7-102 also tracks that act's language. Lewis v. West, 318 Ark. 334, 885 S.W.2d 663 (1994).
Vacancies.
This title, through §§ 7-1-101, 7-7-102, and this section, requires political parties to hold primary elections (rather than conventions) except where a vacancy in nomination or vacancy in office exists. Lewis v. West, 318 Ark. 334, 885 S.W.2d 663 (1994).
