Sheriff Election — Jackson County, Arkansas
Jackson County, Arkansas, Sheriff · the arena · a White-River Delta county hires this desk in 2026 · in Newport · Scottsboro remains Alabama
The 2026 oval in Newport, Arkansas — not Scottsboro, not Jackson, Mississippi
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 Jackson 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.
Newport hires a Sheriff who still holds Theater Drive
Article 7, § 46 / Amendment 95: four years.
- Last regular general: Tuesday, 8 November 2022.
- Preferential primary: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff (where needed): Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (already sat where needed).
- Next regular general: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- County/municipal runoff: Tuesday, 1 December 2026 if this race needs one.

- 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 Scottsboro rumor does not hire this badge. Jackson County, Alabama, is a different state. Jackson, Mississippi, is a different state. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits at 208 Main — not Theater Drive as this clerk
County Clerk work for Jackson County, Arkansas, lists at 208 Main Street, Newport. Circuit Clerk lists separately on the same square. That is county clerk work — not Newport City Hall as this clerk, not a Scottsboro clerk as this clerk, not a Mississippi clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Jackson County, Arkansas — not Jackson County, Alabama
Do not take names from a Scottsboro rumor, a Jackson, Mississippi, flyer, or a Diaz municipal card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Jackson County, Arkansas, Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Jackson 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 — Delta remainder patrol and a Theater Drive house this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Jackson County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Diaz remainder, Tuckerman remainder, Swifton remainder, Jacksonport remainder, and the Delta roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 208 Main; and the jail at 3300 Theater Drive. You are not hiring Newport Police. You are not hiring Jackson County, Alabama. You are not hiring Jackson, Mississippi. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 3300 Theater Drive as this jailer, Newport as the seat, Scottsboro as not this hall, and Grimes / McPherson as ADC.
Remedy when a writ misses Tuckerman
A bad service or a paper that missed Diaz remainder or Swifton remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Scottsboro. Not Jackson, Mississippi, as this oval.
Relief when the White River comes up or U.S. 67 ices
High water toward the White or the Black, a wreck on U.S. 67, ice toward Diaz, a night road outside Tuckerman — this county’s mutual aid first. Independence is a different count. Craighead is a different count. Woodruff is a different count. Newport city hall is a different government. Scottsboro is a different state.
Service — papers, a Main Street docket, a night shift toward Diaz
Papers. A Newport courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Delta road remains this badge. 3300 Theater Drive remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Scottsboro rumor
A levy in unincorporated Jackson County, Arkansas, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Scottsboro, or because a visitor photographed Jackson, Mississippi.
Rights from Jacksonport to the Poinsett line
Equal protection on the Delta map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Theater Drive and a family in Newport hire the same Sheriff.
