Sheriff Election — Arkansas County, Arkansas
Arkansas County Sheriff · the arena · a county named Arkansas hires this desk in 2026 · in DeWitt and Stuttgart · Little Rock remains the capital
The 2026 oval on a county named Arkansas — not the State, not Little Rock
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Arkansas County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is on the 2026 ballot. Arkansas county sheriffs sit on the gubernatorial table.
Dual-seat county hires a Sheriff who still holds the DeWitt jail
Article 7, § 46 / Amendment 95: four years.
- Last regular general: Tuesday, 8 November 2022.
- Preferential primary: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff (where needed): Tuesday, 31 March 2026.
- Next regular general: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- Take office: 1 January 2027 (A.C.A. § 21-1-102).
- Vacancy: Quorum Court appointment until the next general (A.C.A. § 14-14-1310).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Little Rock rumor does not hire this badge. Stuttgart is not the State. Pulaski is later. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits on both squares — not a State Capitol clerk as this clerk
County Clerk work for Arkansas County lists on both halls — DeWitt mailing 101 Court Square; a Stuttgart door also sits. Confirm the live Clerk and elections door on arcounties.org/counties/arkansas before you drive. That is county clerk work — not DeWitt City Hall as this clerk, not Stuttgart City Hall as this clerk, not the Secretary of State’s Capitol suite as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Arkansas County — not Pulaski, not the State
Do not take names from a Little Rock rumor, a Pine Bluff flyer, or a State Capitol postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Arkansas County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Arkansas County, Arkansas, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. Unopposed county nominees sometimes do not reprint on the November card — confirm the Clerk, do not invent a missing race.
What you are hiring — two-district patrol and a Ricebelt house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Arkansas County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Almyra, Gillett remainder, St. Charles remainder, and the Grand Prairie; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 101 Court Square and 312 South College; and the jail at 1000 Ricebelt Avenue. You are not hiring Stuttgart Police. You are not hiring the Governor. You are not hiring the State.
Read the office page for 1000 Ricebelt as this jailer, DeWitt as the southern seat, Stuttgart as the northern seat, and Little Rock as the capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Almyra
A bad service or a paper that missed Almyra or St. Charles remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Little Rock. Not Pulaski as this oval.
Relief when the White River floods a Delta road
High water on the White, a wreck on U.S. 165, a night road outside Gillett — this county’s mutual aid first. Jefferson is a different count. Desha is a different count. Stuttgart city hall is a different government. The State is a different government.
Service — papers, a Court Square docket, a night shift toward Stuttgart
Papers. A DeWitt courtroom. A Stuttgart courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Grand Prairie road remains this badge. 1000 Ricebelt remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Little Rock rumor
A levy in unincorporated Arkansas County still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the Capitol.
Rights from Gillett to the Prairie line
Equal protection on the dual-seat map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Ricebelt Avenue and a family in Stuttgart hire the same Sheriff.
