The 2026 oval in Marianna, Arkansas — not Opelika, not Florida, 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 Lee 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.
Marianna, Arkansas, hires a Sheriff who still holds a 35-bed male house

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. An Alabama rumor does not hire this badge. Moro is not the hall. Brickeys is ADC, not this hall. Marianna is not the capital. Little Rock is the capital. This is not Lee County, Alabama. This is not Lee County, Florida. This is not Marianna, Florida.
Clerk work sits at 15 East Chestnut — not an Opelika clerk, not a Florida registrar as this clerk
County Clerk work for Lee County sits at 15 East Chestnut Street, Marianna. Confirm the live Clerk and elections door through arcounties.org before you drive. That is county clerk work — not Marianna City Hall as this clerk, not an Opelika clerk as a substitute, not a Florida Lee County clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Lee County, Arkansas — not Lee County, Alabama
Do not take names from an Opelika flyer, a Florida listing, a Memphis postcard, or a Brickeys rumor as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Lee County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lee 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 — levee-road patrol and a 35-bed male house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lee County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Moro remainder, Haynes remainder, Rondo country, and the Mississippi roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 15 East Chestnut; and the males-only jail at 15 East Chestnut. You are not hiring Marianna Police. You are not hiring ADC at Brickeys. You are not hiring an Alabama Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 15 East Chestnut as this jailer, Marianna as the seat, East Arkansas Regional as ADC, and Little Rock as the capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Moro
A bad service or a paper that missed Moro or Haynes — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Opelika as this oval. Not Florida.
Relief when the Mississippi floods or U.S. 79 ices
High water on the Mississippi, a wreck on U.S. 79, a night road outside Haynes — this county’s mutual aid first. St. Francis is a different count. Phillips is a different count. Crittenden is a different count. Marianna city hall is a different government. ADC at Brickeys is a different government.
Service — papers on Chestnut, a river-ridge docket, a night shift toward Haynes
Papers. A Marianna courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 79 frontage remains this badge. 15 East Chestnut remains this badge. East Arkansas Regional does not.
Due process does not wait for a Florida rumor
A levy in unincorporated Lee still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Opelika, or because a visitor photographed Marianna, Florida.
Rights from Rondo to the Mississippi
Equal protection on the ridge-to-river map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Chestnut and a family in Moro hire the same Sheriff.
