The 2026 oval in Fordyce — not Dallas, Texas, not Selma
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 Dallas County, Arkansas.
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.
Fordyce hires a Sheriff who still holds a male house on Charlotte Street
Article 7, § 46 / Amendment 95: four years.

- Primary runoff (where needed): Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (already sat where needed).
- Next regular general: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.

- Vacancy: Quorum Court appointment until the next general (A.C.A. § 14-14-1310). Not the Governor.
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Texas rumor does not hire this badge. Dallas, Texas, is another state. Selma is Alabama. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits on West Third — not Charlotte Street as this clerk, not Texas as this clerk
County Clerk / Circuit Clerk work for Dallas County, Arkansas, lists combined at 206 West Third Street, Fordyce. That is county clerk work — not Fordyce City Hall as this clerk, not a Texas elections office as this clerk, not a Selma clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Dallas County, Arkansas — not Texas, not Alabama
Do not take names from a Dallas, Texas, rumor, a Selma flyer, or a Sparkman municipal card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Dallas County, Arkansas, Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Dallas 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 — pine-country patrol and a male house this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Dallas County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Sparkman remainder, Carthage remainder, Princeton remainder, and the pine roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 206 West Third; and the male jail at 106 South Charlotte. You are not hiring Fordyce Police. You are not hiring a Texas Sheriff. You are not hiring Dallas County, Alabama. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 106 South Charlotte as this jailer, Fordyce as the seat, Dallas, Texas, as not this hall, and females as not housed in this county.
Remedy when a writ misses Sparkman
A bad service or a paper that missed Carthage remainder or Princeton remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Dallas, Texas. Not Selma as this oval.
Relief when a timber road floods or U.S. 79 ices
High water toward the Ouachita, a wreck on U.S. 79, ice toward Sparkman, a night road outside Carthage — this county’s mutual aid first. Cleveland is a different count. Calhoun is a different count. Grant is a different count. Fordyce city hall is a different government. Dallas, Texas, is a different state.
Service — papers, a Third Street docket, a night shift toward Sparkman
Papers. A Fordyce courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated pine road remains this badge. 106 South Charlotte remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Texas rumor
A levy in unincorporated Dallas County, Arkansas, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Dallas, Texas, or because a visitor photographed Selma.
Rights from Carthage to the Ouachita line
Equal protection on the timber map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Charlotte Street and a family in Fordyce hire the same Sheriff.
