Sheriff Election — Crittenden County, Arkansas
Crittenden Sheriff · the arena · a Mississippi-River county hires this desk in 2026 · in Marion, Arkansas · West Memphis remains the large city, not the hall
The 2026 oval in Marion — not West Memphis City Hall, not Tennessee
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 Crittenden 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.
Marion hires a Sheriff whose shop is Afco Road

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Eleven Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Tennessee rumor does not hire this badge. West Memphis is not the hall. Memphis is another state. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits on Court Square — not Afco Road as this clerk, not Tennessee as this clerk
County Clerk work for Crittenden County lists at 100 Court Square, Marion, AR 72364. Circuit Clerk lists the same square. That is county clerk work — not Marion City Hall as this clerk, not West Memphis City Hall as this clerk, not a Shelby County, Tennessee, election office as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Crittenden County — not Tennessee, not a West Memphis municipal card as this oval
Do not take names from a Memphis, Tennessee, rumor, a West Memphis city flyer, or a Marion, Alabama, postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Crittenden County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Crittenden 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 — Mississippi-wall patrol and an Afco Road house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Crittenden County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Earle remainder, Turrell remainder, Horseshoe Lake, and the interstate frontage; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 100 Court Square, Marion; and the jail at 350 Afco Road. You are not hiring West Memphis Police. You are not hiring Marion Police. You are not hiring a Tennessee Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 350 Afco Road as this jailer, Marion as the seat, and West Memphis as the large city, not the hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Earle
A bad service or a paper that missed Turrell remainder or Horseshoe Lake — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not West Memphis City Hall as this oval. Not Tennessee.
Relief when the Mississippi floods a Delta road
High water on the Mississippi, a wreck on I-40, a wreck on I-55, a night road outside Gilmore — this county’s mutual aid first. Cross is a different count. Mississippi County, Arkansas, is a different count. Lee is a different count. West Memphis city hall is a different government. Memphis, Tennessee, is a different state.
Service — papers in Marion, a night shift toward West Memphis, one badge
Papers filed at Court Square. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-55 frontage remains this badge. County detention on Afco Road remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Tennessee rumor
A levy in unincorporated Crittenden still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Memphis, or because a visitor treated West Memphis as the hall.
Rights from Horseshoe Lake to the Mississippi County line
Equal protection on the river map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Marion and a family in West Memphis hire the same Sheriff.
