Sheriff Election — Newton County, Arkansas
Newton Sheriff · the arena · a Buffalo River county hires one desk in 2026 · in Jasper, Arkansas · not in Jasper, Alabama
The 2026 oval sits in Jasper. It does not sit in Walker County, Alabama.
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 Newton County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
One Sheriff. Four years. Harrison does not hire this badge.
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 Newton County, Arkansas — not for Walker County, Alabama, not for Boone County.

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. The Collector is a separate desk — not this oval. An Alabama rumor does not hire this badge. Jasper, Alabama, is a different state. Alabama’s vacancy is Governor appointment — not this statute. Harrison is a different county. Western Grove is a town, not the hall. Little Rock is still the capital.
Absentee is the County Clerk on Court Street. The jail is not the clerk.
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 100 East Court Street, Jasper, AR 72641 (phone 870-446-5125), mailing P.O. Box 410. Do not treat 300 North Spring jail as the clerk. Do not treat a Walker County, Alabama, board of elections as a substitute for this absentee desk. Do not treat a Boone County board as this board. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov/elections and VoteView.
Sample ballot in Jasper, Arkansas. Not a Jasper, Alabama, rumor.
Do not take names from an Alabama rumor, a Harrison flyer, or a Western Grove municipal card as if it hired this county badge.

You are hiring Highway 7 patrol and a 30-bed house. You are not hiring Walker County.
You are hiring the Sheriff of Newton County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on Arkansas 7 and the Buffalo country, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at 100 East Court, search and rescue, and detention this Sheriff still holds at the 2014 Spring Street house. You are not hiring Jasper PD. You are not hiring Boone’s Sheriff. You are not hiring Walker County, Alabama. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Spring Street as this jailer, Jasper as the seat, and Walker County as Alabama, not this house.
A missed writ in Ponca — this Sheriff and the 14th Circuit. Not Alabama.
A bad service or a paper that missed Western Grove — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Alabama. Not Harrison City Hall as this oval.
Ice on Highway 7, fog on a bluff, a Buffalo night search — this count first.
Ice on Arkansas 74, a wreck on Arkansas 7, fog on a bluff road, a night search on the Buffalo — this county’s mutual aid first. Boone is a different count. Madison is a different count. Searcy is a different count. Jasper city hall is a different government. Alabama is a different state. NPS on the river is a different badge.
Papers on Spring Street. Night hours the office posts. ASA lists 30 — confirm live.
Papers filed at the Spring Street house. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Highway 7 frontage remains this badge. County detention at the 2014 house remains this badge. ASA lists 30 beds — confirm live. The 1902 stone jail is closed. Walker County is not this house.
Due process does not wait for a Jasper, Alabama, postcard.
A levy in Ponca still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Alabama industry, or because a visitor photographed Harrison as if it were this hall.
Rights from Western Grove to the Madison line
Equal protection on the Buffalo. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Jasper and a family in Boxley hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Harrison hires Boone’s Sheriff. A resident of Jasper, Alabama, hires Walker County.
