The 2026 oval in Helena-West Helena, not Colorado, not Memphis as this hire
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 Phillips County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Helena-West Helena hires one Sheriff. Phillips County, Colorado, does not. Memphis 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 Phillips County, Arkansas — not for Phillips County, Colorado, not for Shelby County, Tennessee.
- 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 Colorado rumor does not hire this badge. Holyoke, Colorado, is a different state. Memphis is a different state. Marvell is a city, not the hall. Little Rock is still the capital.
Absentee with the County Clerk at 620 Cherry, not 1804 as the clerk, not Colorado as a second board
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 620 Cherry Street, Suite 202, Helena-West Helena, AR 72342 (phone 870-338-5505). Do not treat 1804 Martin Luther King Drive as the clerk. Do not treat a Phillips County, Colorado, board of elections as a substitute for this absentee desk. Do not treat a Shelby County, Tennessee, board as this board. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov/elections and VoteView.

What you are hiring — Delta patrol and a 100-bed house this Sheriff still holds at 1804 MLK
You are hiring the Sheriff of Phillips County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on U.S. 49 and the levee, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at 622 Cherry, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 1804 Martin Luther King Drive (ASA 100 beds). Combined Collector is a different door on the same person — confirm live. You are not hiring Helena-West Helena PD. You are not hiring Lee’s Sheriff. You are not hiring ADC at 1806 Martin Luther King Jr Drive. You are not hiring Phillips County, Colorado. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 1804 as this jailer, Helena-West Helena as the seat, and 1806 as ADC, not this house.
Remedy when a writ misses Marvell
A bad service or a paper that missed Elaine — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Colorado. Not Memphis City Hall as this oval.
Relief when the Mississippi rises or U.S. 49 ices
High water against the levee, a wreck on U.S. 49, fog on a Delta farm road, ice toward Elaine — this county’s mutual aid first. Lee is a different count. Monroe is a different count. Desha is a different count. Helena-West Helena city hall is a different government. Colorado is a different state. Memphis is a different state.
Service — papers on Cherry Street, night hours the office posts
Papers filed at 620 / 622 Cherry. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 49 frontage remains this badge. County detention at 1804 Martin Luther King Drive remains this badge. ASA lists 100 beds — confirm live. 1806 MLK is not this house.
Due process does not wait for a Colorado rumor
A levy in Marvell still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Colorado, or because a visitor photographed Memphis as if it were this hall.
Rights from Elaine to the Lee line
Equal protection on the Delta. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Helena-West Helena and a family in Marvell hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Marianna hires Lee’s Sheriff. A resident of Holyoke, Colorado, hires Phillips County, Colorado. A resident of Memphis hires Shelby County, Tennessee.
