Craighead County, AR – JonesboroRightNow.com – Here are the election results reported by the Craighead County Election Commission.

Jonesboro Right Now is LIVE at the Craighead County Election Annex and is reporting results as they come in. Watch JRN for other individual election stories covering specific Craighead County races.

Candidates and issues are listed in the order they appear on the ballot.

The percentages in some races do not add to 100% due to under voting – that is, some voters did not cast a vote in that race when they voted, but the percentage formula includes those voters in the calculation.

This serves as the general election for all nonpartisan judicial races. Meanwhile, the winning candidates from their respective political parties will advance to the November general election, potentially facing off against their opposing party’s candidate.

The results below represent 53 out of 53 precincts reporting, as well as early and absentee voting.
