Sheriff Election — Logan County, Arkansas
Logan Sheriff · the arena · a two-district mountain county hires one desk in 2026 · in Paris, Arkansas
The 2026 oval in Paris, not Booneville City Hall, not Paris, Texas
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 Logan County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Paris hires one Sheriff for two districts
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 the county — not one per district.
- 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 Texas rumor does not hire this badge. Paris, Texas, is a different state. Logan, Utah, is a different state. Booneville is a city and a southern courthouse, not the Sheriff hall. Magazine is a town, not the hall. Little Rock is still the capital. Two courthouses are not two ovals.
Absentee with the County Clerk on Walnut, not Lowder as the clerk, not Broadway as a second board
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 25 W. Walnut Street, Paris, AR 72855 (phone 479-963-2618), with a Booneville clerk door at 479-675-2951. Circuit Clerk keeps a second door at 366 N. Broadway, Booneville for southern filings — that is not a second absentee board and not a second Sheriff hire. Do not treat 201 S. Lowder jail as the clerk. Do not treat a Texas 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 Paris, not Logan, Utah, not Paris, Texas
Do not take names from a Texas rumor, a Booneville city flyer, or a Magazine municipal card as if it hired this county badge.

What you are hiring — mountain patrol and a 100-bed house this Sheriff still holds in Paris
You are hiring the Sheriff of Logan County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol north and south of Mount Magazine, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at both district doors, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 201 S. Lowder Street, Paris. You are not hiring Paris PD. You are not hiring Booneville PD. You are not hiring a Texas Sheriff. You are not hiring two sheriffs. You are not hiring the Governor. You are not hiring the separate Tax Collector.
Read the office page for Lowder Street as this jailer, Paris as the Sheriff hall, and Booneville as the southern courthouse, not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Booneville
A bad service or a paper that missed Subiaco — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Texas. Not Booneville City Hall as this oval.
Relief when Magazine fog sits or Arkansas 22 ices
Ice on the mountain road, a wreck on Arkansas 22, high water in the river valley, a night road outside Ratcliff — this county’s mutual aid first. Franklin is a different count. Sebastian is a different count. Scott is a different count. Booneville city hall is a different government. Paris city hall is a different government.
Service — papers north of the mountain, papers south of the mountain, one badge
Papers filed in the northern district in Paris. Papers filed in the southern district in Booneville. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Arkansas 22 frontage remains this badge. County detention in Paris remains this badge. Booneville’s small city jail remains municipal.
Due process does not wait for a Texas rumor
A levy in Magazine still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Paris, Texas, or because a visitor photographed only one of two courthouses.
Rights from Subiaco to the Scott line
Equal protection on both sides of Mount Magazine. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Paris and a family in Booneville hire the same Sheriff.
