The 2026 oval in Lewisville — not Stamps as this hall, not Lafayette, Louisiana, not Little Rock
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 Lafayette 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.

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Louisiana rumor does not hire this badge. Stamps is not the hall. Lewisville is not the capital. Little Rock is the capital. This is not Lafayette, Louisiana. This is not Fayetteville.
Clerk work sits at #2 Courthouse Square — not a Louisiana clerk, not a Fayetteville registrar as this clerk
County Clerk work for Lafayette County sits at #2 Courthouse Square, Lewisville. Confirm the live Clerk and elections door on lafayettecounty.arkansas.gov before you drive. That is county clerk work — not Stamps City Hall as this clerk, not a Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Lafayette County, Arkansas — not Lafayette Parish, Louisiana
Do not take names from a Louisiana flyer, a Fayetteville listing, a Stamps rumor, or a Mississippi Lafayette County card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Lafayette County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lafayette 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 — timber-road patrol and a 60-bed Courthouse Square house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lafayette County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Stamps remainder, Bradley remainder, Buckner country, and the Red River roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 1 Courthouse Square; and the jail at #5 Courthouse Square. You are not hiring Stamps Police. You are not hiring a Louisiana Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for #5 Courthouse Square as this jailer, Lewisville as the seat, Stamps as not the hall, and Little Rock as the capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Bradley
A bad service or a paper that missed Bradley or Buckner — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Lafayette, Louisiana, as this oval.
Relief when the Red River floods or U.S. 82 ices
High water on the Red River, a wreck on U.S. 82, a night road outside Stamps remainder — this county’s mutual aid first. Miller is a different count. Columbia is a different count. Hempstead is a different count. Stamps city hall is a different government. Louisiana is a different state.
Service — papers on the square, a 1942 docket, a night shift toward Bradley
Papers. A Lewisville courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 82 frontage remains this badge. #5 Courthouse Square remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Louisiana rumor
A levy in unincorporated Lafayette still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Lafayette, Louisiana, or because a visitor photographed Fayetteville.
Rights from Buckner to the Louisiana line
Equal protection on the timber-and-Red-River map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Courthouse Square and a family in Bradley hire the same Sheriff.
