The 2026 oval in Danville — two districts hire one Sheriff
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 Yell County, Arkansas.
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. The Governor is also 2026. That is a different desk in Little Rock.
Danville hires a Sheriff who still holds the house; Dardanelle still sits as a court
Article 7, § 46 / Amendment 95: four years.
- Last regular general: Tuesday, 8 November 2022.
- Preferential primary: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff (where needed): Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (already sat where needed).
- Next regular general: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- County/municipal runoff: Tuesday, 1 December 2026 if this race needs one.
- Take office: 1 January 2027 (A.C.A. § 21-1-102).
- Vacancy: Quorum Court appointment until the next general (A.C.A. § 14-14-1310). Not the Governor.
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Eleven Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Dardanelle PD rumor does not hire this badge. Two courthouses do not hire two sheriffs. Yellville is Marion. Russellville is Pope. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits on Fifth and Union — not Dardanelle PD as this clerk
County Clerk / Circuit Clerk work for Yell County, Arkansas, lists combined, mailing 101 East 5th Street, Danville, with a Dardanelle phone. That is county clerk work — not Dardanelle City Hall as this clerk, not a Yellville clerk as this clerk, not Russellville as a second board. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Yell County, Arkansas — not Yellville, not Little Rock
Do not take names from a Yellville rumor, a Dardanelle municipal card, a Russellville / Pope card, or a Little Rock card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Yell County, Arkansas, Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Yell County, Arkansas, Sheriff listing at yellcountysheriff.org
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.
What you are hiring — two-district remainder patrol and an 82-bed house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Yell County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Dardanelle remainder, Ola remainder, Belleville remainder, Havana remainder, and the Highway 7 frontage; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at both halls; and detention this Sheriff still holds in Danville. You are not hiring Dardanelle Police. You are not hiring Danville Police. You are not hiring Yellville. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Danville as this hall and jailer, Dardanelle as the northern court, two districts as one oval, Yellville as Marion, and Autauga-with-a-river as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses Dardanelle remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Ola remainder or Havana remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Dardanelle PD. Not Yellville. Not Russellville as this oval.
Relief when the Arkansas River comes up or Highway 7 ices
High water toward Lake Dardanelle, a wreck on Highway 7, ice toward Ola, a night road outside Belleville — this county’s mutual aid first. Pope is a different count. Logan is a different count. Perry is a different count. Dardanelle city hall is a different government. Yellville is a different county.
Service — papers, a Fifth Street docket, a Union Street docket, a night shift toward Ola
Papers. A Danville courtroom. A Dardanelle courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated highway frontage remains this badge. Danville detention remains this badge. Dardanelle PD does not.
Due process does not wait for a Mount Magazine rumor
A levy in unincorporated Yell County, Arkansas, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a park, or because a visitor photographed Yellville.
Rights from Havana to the Perry line
Equal protection on this two-district map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at the Danville house and a family in Dardanelle hire the same Sheriff.
