Under Arkansas law, a nonpartisan judicial race that does not produce a majority winner in the March 3, 2026 primary goes to a runoff on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. Every voter in Madison and Washington counties elects this seat, since Arkansas circuit judges are elected circuit-wide across the 4th Judicial Circuit (Madison, Washington), per the Arkansas Judiciary's circuit map (cross-checked against the Arkansas Times' March 2026 primary-night judicial roundup). Arkansas circuit court races are nonpartisan.
