Sheriff Election — Little River County, Arkansas
Little River Sheriff · the arena · a Red River corner county hires one desk in 2026 · in Ashdown, Arkansas · not in Little Rock
The 2026 oval in Ashdown, not Little Rock, not Texarkana
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 Little River County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Ashdown hires one Sheriff. Miller County does not. Pulaski does not.
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. One sheriff for Little River County — not for Little Rock, not for Texarkana.
- 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. Justices of the peace sit on a two-year clock — not this oval. The County Judge is four years — not this oval. A Pulaski rumor does not hire this badge. Little Rock is still the capital. Texarkana is a different county. Foreman is a city, not the hall now. Rocky Comfort was an earlier seat — it is not the hall now.
Absentee with the County Clerk on Second Street, not Constitution Avenue as the clerk
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 351 N. 2nd Street, Suite 4B, Ashdown, AR 71822 (phone 870-898-7208). Circuit Clerk lists 351 N. 2nd. Do not treat the Constitution Avenue jail as the clerk. Do not treat a Pulaski County 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 Ashdown, not Little Rock
Do not take names from a Pulaski rumor, a Texarkana flyer, or a Foreman municipal card as if it hired this county badge.

What you are hiring — mill-road patrol and a males-only house this Sheriff still holds in Ashdown
You are hiring the Sheriff of Little River County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on U.S. 71 and the mill roads, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at both Ashdown campuses, detention this Sheriff still holds (ASA 24 beds, males only — confirm live), and collector where combined. You are not hiring Ashdown PD. You are not hiring Foreman PD. You are not hiring Miller’s Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Constitution Avenue as this jailer, Ashdown as the seat, and Little Rock as the capital, not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Foreman
A bad service or a paper that missed Wilton — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Pulaski. Not Texarkana City Hall as this oval.
Relief when the Red River floods or U.S. 71 ices
High water on the Red River, a wreck on U.S. 71, ice on a mill road, a night road outside Ogden — this county’s mutual aid first. Miller is a different count. Sevier is a different count. Oklahoma is a different state. Texas is a different state. Ashdown city hall is a different government. Foreman city hall is a different government.
Service — papers on Second Street, tickets on Constitution Avenue
Papers filed at 351 N. 2nd. District-court payments the county posts at the Sheriff’s Constitution Avenue door. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated mill-road remains this badge. County detention in Ashdown remains this badge. ASA lists males only — confirm live female housing; do not invent a pod.
Due process does not wait for a Pulaski rumor
A levy in Foreman still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Little Rock, or because a visitor photographed Texarkana as if it were this hall.
Rights from Ogden to the Oklahoma line
Equal protection on the mill roads and along the river. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Ashdown and a family in Foreman hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Texarkana hires Miller’s Sheriff.
