Sheriff Election — Hempstead County, Arkansas
Hempstead Sheriff · the arena · a southwest I-30 county hires this desk in 2026 · in Hope
The 2026 oval in Hope, not a Long Island town board, not a park as this hall
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 Hempstead County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Hope hires a Sheriff for I-30 and a hundred-bed house
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.
- 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. Eleven justices of the peace sit on a two-year clock — not this oval. The County Judge is four years — not this oval. A Long Island rumor does not hire this badge. Historic Washington is a park, not the hall. The town of Fulton is not Fulton County. Little Rock is still the capital.
Absentee with the County Clerk — not 312 South Washington as this clerk, not Long Island
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk (AAC mailing P.O. Box 1420, Hope, AR 71802; phone 870-777-2241). Circuit Clerk work is a separate desk. That is not 312 South Washington as the clerk, not a New York 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 Hope, not Hempstead, New York
Do not take names from a Long Island rumor, a Historic Washington park flyer, a Hope city card, or a Texas Hempstead card as if it hired this county badge.

- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Hempstead County, Arkansas, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — I-30 remainder patrol and a hundred-bed house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Hempstead County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at the live Hope doors, and the hundred-bed house this office still holds at 312 South Washington. You are not hiring Hope PD. You are not hiring a New York Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 312 South Washington as this door, Hope as the seat, Historic Washington as a park now, and Long Island as not the hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Blevins
A bad service or a paper that missed Ozan remainder or the town of Fulton — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven JPs are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Long Island. Not Hope City Hall as this oval.
Relief when I-30 ices toward Nevada
Ice on I-30 or U.S. 67, a wreck toward Prescott remainder, high water toward the Red River, a night road toward Blevins — this county’s mutual aid first. Nevada is a different count. Howard is a different count. Lafayette is a different count. Hope city hall is a different government.
Service — papers on Prairie de Roan, a Third Street docket, a Blevins night shift
Papers. A Hope courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-30 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains the house this badge still holds on South Washington.
Due process does not wait for a Long Island rumor
A levy in unincorporated Hempstead still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Long Island, or because a visitor photographed a park in Washington.
Rights from the town of Fulton to the Pike line
Equal protection on the southwest map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Hope and a family in Blevins hire the same Sheriff.
