Sheriff Election — Lincoln County, Arkansas
Lincoln Sheriff · the arena · southeast Arkansas hires this desk in 2026 · in Star City, Arkansas · Little Rock remains the capital
The 2026 oval in Star City — not Cummins, not Nebraska, 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 Lincoln 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.
Star City hires a Sheriff who still holds a 22-bed male house. Cummins is ADC.

- Preferential primary: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff (where needed): Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (already sat where needed).

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A prison-complex rumor does not hire this badge. Gould is not the hall. Grady is not the hall. Cummins is ADC. Varner is ADC. Star City is not the capital. Little Rock is the capital. This is not Lincoln, Nebraska. This is not Pulaski.
Clerk work sits at 300 South Drew Room 101 — not a Nebraska clerk, not an ADC registrar as this clerk
County Clerk work for Lincoln County sits at 300 South Drew Street, Room 101, Star City. Confirm the live Clerk and elections door through arcounties.org before you drive. That is county clerk work — not Star City Hall as this clerk, not a Cummins desk as this clerk, not a Nebraska clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Lincoln County, Arkansas — not Lincoln, Nebraska
Do not take names from a Nebraska flyer, a Pulaski listing, a Cummins rumor, or a Pine Bluff postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Lincoln County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lincoln 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 — Bayou Bartholomew patrol and a 22-bed male house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lincoln County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Gould remainder, Grady remainder, Cane Creek country, and the Bayou Bartholomew roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 300 South Drew; and the small males-only county jail. You are not hiring Star City Police. You are not hiring ADC at Cummins. You are not hiring ADC at Varner. You are not hiring a Nebraska Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Star City as the seat, 300 South Drew as the 1943 court, Cummins and Varner as ADC, and Little Rock as the capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Gould remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Gould remainder or Grady remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Cummins as this oval. Not Nebraska.
Relief when Bayou Bartholomew floods or Highway 11 ices
High water on Bayou Bartholomew, a wreck on Highway 11 or U.S. 425, a night road outside Gould — this county’s mutual aid first. Jefferson is a different count. Drew is a different count. Desha is a different count. Star City hall is a different government. ADC is a different government.
Service — papers on Drew, a 1943 docket, a night shift toward Gould
Papers. A Star City courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Highway 11 frontage remains this badge. The county house this Sheriff still holds remains this badge. Cummins does not. Varner does not.
Due process does not wait for a Nebraska rumor
A levy in unincorporated Lincoln still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Cummins, or because a visitor photographed Lincoln, Nebraska.
Rights from Grady remainder to the Cleveland line
Equal protection on the pine-to-Delta map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Drew Street and a family in Gould hire the same Sheriff. A state inmate at Cummins does not hire this oval as a warden.
