Poinsett Sheriff · the arena · a Crowley’s Ridge county hires one desk in 2026 · in Harrisburg, Arkansas · not in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania · not in Memphis
The 2026 oval in Harrisburg, Arkansas, not Pennsylvania, not Memphis
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 Poinsett County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Harrisburg, Arkansas, hires one Sheriff. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, does not. Memphis does not. Trumann 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 Poinsett County, Arkansas — not for Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 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.

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 Pennsylvania rumor does not hire this badge. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is a different state. Memphis is a different state. Trumann is a city, not the hall. Jonesboro is a different county. Little Rock is still the capital.
Absentee with the County Clerk at 401 Market, not the jail as the clerk, not Pennsylvania as a second board
Absentee and voter registration for this county sit with the County Clerk at 401 Market Street, Harrisburg, AR 72432 (phone 870-578-4410 / 870-578-4412). Do not treat 1500 Justice Drive as the clerk. Do not treat a Dauphin County 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 — Crowley’s Ridge patrol and a 136-bed house this Sheriff still holds in Harrisburg, Arkansas
You are hiring the Sheriff of Poinsett County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on Highway 63 and the ridge, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at 401 Market, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 1500 Justice Drive (ASA 136 beds; confirm live expansion). Combined Collector is a different door on the same person — collector at Market, Sheriff at Justice Drive. You are not hiring Harrisburg PD. You are not hiring Trumann PD. You are not hiring Craighead’s Sheriff. You are not hiring Dauphin County. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 1500 Justice Drive as this jailer, Harrisburg, Arkansas, as the seat, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as a different capital.
Remedy when a writ misses Trumann
A bad service or a paper that missed Marked Tree — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Pennsylvania. Not Memphis City Hall as this oval.
Relief when the St. Francis rises or Highway 63 ices
High water in the Sunken Lands, a wreck on Highway 63, fog on Crowley’s Ridge, ice toward Weiner — this county’s mutual aid first. Craighead is a different count. Cross is a different count. Jackson is a different count. Harrisburg city hall is a different government. Pennsylvania is a different state. Memphis is a different state.
Service — papers on Market Street, night hours the office posts
Papers filed at 401 Market. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Highway 63 frontage remains this badge. County detention at 1500 Justice Drive remains this badge. ASA lists 136 beds — confirm live. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is not this house.
Due process does not wait for a Pennsylvania rumor
A levy in Trumann still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a capitol dome, or because a visitor photographed Memphis as if it were this hall.
Rights from Lepanto to the Craighead line
Equal protection on the ridge. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Harrisburg, Arkansas, and a family in Trumann hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Jonesboro hires Craighead’s Sheriff. A resident of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, hires Dauphin County. A resident of Memphis hires Shelby County, Tennessee.
