Sheriff Election — Carroll County, Arkansas
Carroll Sheriff · the arena · a two-district Ozark county hires one desk in 2026 · in Berryville, Arkansas
The 2026 oval in Berryville, not Eureka Springs City Hall, not Westminster
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 Carroll County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Berryville hires one Sheriff for two districts
Arkansas Constitution Article 7, § 46: four years. Sheriff sits on the gubernatorial table. Amendment 95 moved the desk from two years to four beginning 2018. One sheriff for the county — not one per district.
- Preferential primary: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff: Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (already sat where needed).
- General: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- County/municipal runoff: Tuesday, 1 December 2026 if this race needs one.
- Take office: Ark. Code § 21-1-102 — Thursday, 1 January 2027.
- Vacancy: Quorum Court appointment within thirty days (§ 14-14-1310). Not the Governor.
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Justices of the peace sit on a two-year clock — not this oval. The County Judge is four years — not this oval. A Maryland rumor does not hire this badge. Westminster is a different state. Eureka Springs is a city and a western courthouse, not the Sheriff hall. Green Forest is a city, not the hall. Little Rock is still the capital. Two courthouses are not two ovals.
Absentee with the County Clerk on Church Avenue, not Hailey Road, not 44 South Main
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County / Probate Clerk at 210 West Church Avenue, Berryville, AR 72616 (phone 870-423-2022). Circuit Clerk keeps a second door at 44 South Main, Eureka Springs for western filings — that is not a second absentee board and not a second Sheriff hire. Do not treat Hailey Road jail as the clerk. Do not treat a Maryland board of elections as a substitute for this absentee desk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov/elections and VoteView.

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Ozark-line patrol and a 105-bed house this Sheriff still holds in Berryville
You are hiring the Sheriff of Carroll County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol east and west of Kings River, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at both district doors, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 205 Hailey Road, Berryville. You are not hiring Berryville PD. You are not hiring Eureka Springs PD. You are not hiring a Maryland Sheriff. You are not hiring two sheriffs. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Hailey Road as this jailer, Berryville as the seat, and Eureka Springs as the western courthouse, not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Green Forest
A bad service or a paper that missed Holiday Island — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Maryland. Not Eureka Springs City Hall as this oval.
Relief when Kings River floods or a Holiday Island road ices
High water on Kings River, a wreck on U.S. 62, ice toward Holiday Island, a night road outside Oak Grove — this county’s mutual aid first. Boone is a different count. Benton is a different count. Madison is a different count. Eureka Springs city hall is a different government. Berryville city hall is a different government.
Service — papers east of the river, papers west of the river, one badge
Papers filed east of Kings River in Berryville. Papers filed west of Kings River in Eureka Springs. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 62 frontage remains this badge. County detention in Berryville remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Maryland rumor
A levy in Green Forest still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Westminster, or because a visitor photographed a Victorian porch.
Rights from Holiday Island to the Boone line
Equal protection on both sides of Kings River. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Berryville and a family in Eureka Springs hire the same Sheriff.
