Sheriff Election — Mississippi County, Arkansas
Mississippi County Sheriff · the arena · northeast Arkansas hires this desk in 2026 · two seats, one oval · the State of Mississippi remains a different government · Little Rock remains the capital
The 2026 oval on a county named Mississippi — not the State, not Jackson
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 Mississippi 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.
Dual-seat county hires one Sheriff who still holds Luxora

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Eleven Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Jackson rumor does not hire this badge. The State of Mississippi is not this hall. Blytheville is not a second Sheriff. Little Rock is the capital. This is not Jackson. This is not Crittenden.
Clerk work sits on both squares — not a Jackson, Mississippi clerk as this clerk
County Clerk work for Mississippi County sits at both courthouses — 200 West Walnut, Blytheville, and 200 West Hale, Osceola. Confirm the live Clerk and elections door on mississippicountyar.org before you drive. That is county clerk work — not Blytheville City Hall as this clerk, not Osceola City Hall as this clerk, not a Jackson, Mississippi, clerk as this clerk, not a Crittenden clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Mississippi County, Arkansas — not the State of Mississippi
Do not take names from a Jackson rumor, a State-of-Mississippi flyer, a Little Rock postcard, or a Crittenden listing as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Mississippi County Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Mississippi 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. One Sheriff. Two districts. One oval.
What you are hiring — two-district patrol and a Luxora house this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Mississippi County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Manila remainder, Leachville remainder, Gosnell remainder, and Joiner country; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at Walnut and at Hale; and detention at 685 North County Road 599, Luxora. You are not hiring Blytheville Police. You are not hiring Osceola Police. You are not hiring the Governor. You are not hiring a Mississippi state officer as this oval.
Read the office page for Luxora as this jailer, Osceola and Blytheville as two seats, the State of Mississippi as a different government, and Little Rock as the capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Manila remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Manila remainder or Joiner country — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Jackson. Not a second Sheriff as this oval.
Relief when the river floods a levee road
Ice on I-55, high water on a levee, a night road outside Leachville — this county’s mutual aid first. Crittenden is a different count. Craighead is a different count. The State of Mississippi is a different government. Blytheville city hall is a different government.
Service — papers in Blytheville, papers in Osceola, one badge
Papers. An Osceola courtroom. A Blytheville courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-55 frontage remains this badge. Luxora remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a State-of-Mississippi rumor
A levy in unincorporated Mississippi County still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Jackson, or because a visitor treated two courts as two badges.
Rights from Joiner to the Craighead line
Equal protection on the river map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Hale and a family in Manila hire the same Sheriff.
