Opinion No. 92-171
June 8, 1992
Mr. Lonnie C. Turner
Chairman, Franklin County Election Commission
c/o Turner & Mainard
110 West Commercial
Ozark, AR 72949
Dear Mr. Turner:
This is in response to your request for an opinion
concerning election tabulation procedures.    You have asked
seven specific questions regarding certain events which
transpired at the May 26, 1992 primary election in Franklin
County.   Four of these questions are restated below.     The
other questions, however, will be addressed by separate
correspondence.
You state that you serve as the chairman of the Franklin
County Election Commission and the secretary of the Franklin
County Democratic Central Committee.    You were serving in
these positions at the time of the primary election held
May 26, 1992.   The method by which the returns from the
various precincts in Franklin County would be tabulated was
apparently discussed between yourself, the other election
officials and the county clerk. The tabulation was to take
place at the clerk's office. You state that you established
a plan to accommodate the need for adequate working space
for the election officials in the clerk's office and still
provide reasonable access to the candidates, the public and
the news media.
You state that the owner/operator of the local radio station
demanded that the Commission provide space for his broadcast
physically inside the clerk's office.      This request was
denied.  You state that at about 8:00 p.m., the first box
came in and, as the second box was coming in, the

200 Tower Building, 323 Center Street * Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-2610
