SPECIAL ELECTIONS - ARKANSAS

Mississippi County v. City of Osceola

Supreme Court of Arkansas - March 2, 2017 - S.W.3d - 2017 Ark. 632017 WL 829214

Taxpayers and city brought action against county seeking to enjoin a special election regarding the use of revenue from a sales tax and a bond issue to fund construction of a new courthouse.

The Circuit Court enjoined the election. County appealed.

The Supreme Court of Arkansas held that passing of scheduled date of election and resolution of a companion case rendered the appeal moot.

County’s appeal of trial court’s decision to enjoin a special election regarding the funding of the construction of a new courthouse was moot, where the scheduled date of the special election had passed, and a companion case had already resolved the pertinent issues.
