Sheriff Election — Conway County, Arkansas
Conway County Sheriff · the arena · a River Valley county hires one desk in 2026 · in Morrilton, Arkansas · not in the city of Conway
The 2026 oval in Morrilton, not the city of Conway, not Faulkner
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 Conway County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Morrilton hires one Sheriff. The city of Conway does not.
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 Conway County — not for the city of Conway.
- 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 Faulkner rumor does not hire this badge. The city of Conway is a different county. Cadron was the first seat — it is not the hall now. Plumerville is a city, not the hall. Petit Jean is a mountain, not this oval. Little Rock is still the capital.
Absentee with the County Clerk on Moose Street, not Southern Valley as the clerk
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 117 S. Moose Street, Morrilton, AR 72110 (phone 501-354-9621). Circuit Clerk lists 115 S. Moose, Room 206. Do not treat Southern Valley jail as the clerk. Do not treat a Faulkner County board of elections as a substitute for this absentee desk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov/elections and VoteView.
Sample ballot in Morrilton, not the city of Conway

What you are hiring — River Valley patrol and a Southern Valley house this Sheriff still holds in Morrilton
You are hiring the Sheriff of Conway County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on I-40 and under Petit Jean, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at Moose Street, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 30 Southern Valley Drive, Morrilton. You are not hiring Morrilton PD. You are not hiring the city of Conway. You are not hiring Faulkner’s Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor. You are not hiring the separate Tax Collector in Room 106.
Read the office page for Southern Valley as this jailer, Morrilton as the seat, and the city of Conway as Faulkner County, not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Plumerville
A bad service or a paper that missed Oppelo — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Faulkner. Not Conway City Hall as this oval.
Relief when I-40 ices or Petit Jean fog sits
High water on the Arkansas River, a wreck on I-40, ice on the mountain road, a night road outside Menifee — this county’s mutual aid first. Faulkner is a different count. Pope is a different count. Perry is a different count. Morrilton city hall is a different government. The city of Conway is a different government in a different county.
Service — papers on Moose Street, night hours the office posts
Papers filed at 115 / 117 S. Moose. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-40 frontage remains this badge. County detention at Southern Valley remains this badge. ASA lists 106 beds — confirm live.
Due process does not wait for a Faulkner rumor
A levy in Plumerville still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the city of Conway, or because a visitor photographed Cadron.
Rights from Menifee to the Pope line
Equal protection under Petit Jean and along the river. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Morrilton and a family in Oppelo hire the same Sheriff. A resident of the city of Conway hires Faulkner’s Sheriff.
