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

Jonesboro Right Now was LIVE at the Craighead County Election Annex reporting results as they came in.

Candidates and issues are listed in the order they appeared 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.
