Phillips County March 3 ballot features county office races, Slayton and Stoner

“Phillips County voters joined Arkansans statewide in preferential party primaries and other contests on March 3, 2026.” On that ballot Phillips County recorded a high-profile local matchup: Anthony T. Slayton (D) and Brian Stoner (D) faced each other in the Democratic primary for Phillips County County Judge, according to Ballotpedia’s March 3 candidate listings.

Local ballot items listed in the Original Report included “Phillips County Circuit Clerk, Phillips County Clerk, Phillips County Treasure,” the exact phrasing used in the source. The report names those three county offices as appearing on the March 3 ballot but does not provide candidate names or party labels for the clerk, circuit clerk, or the office listed as “Treasure.”

Ballotpedia’s candidate entries show both Slayton and Stoner on the Democratic primary ballot. The Ballotpedia excerpt states: “Brian Stoner (Democratic Party) ran for election to the Phillips County County Judge in Arkansas. Stoner was on the ballot in the Democratic primary on March 3, 2026.” Ballotpedia’s page for the contest also lists “Anthony T. Slayton) (D) and Brian Stoner) (D) ran in the Democratic primary for Phillips County County Judge on March 3, 2026.” The Ballotpedia entries include silhouette placeholder images where candidate photos would appear.

Biographical detail on one candidate is notably absent in the public snippets: “Ballotpedia did not receive biographical information for this candidate,” a line that immediately follows the Stoner entry in Ballotpedia’s excerpt. The provided sources contain no vote totals, no primary winners, and no turnout figures for Phillips County’s March 3 contests.

For certified results, complete candidate lists, and precinct turnout in Phillips County, the Arkansas Secretary of State’s election records and the Phillips County election commission hold official returns and filings. Until those agencies post certified results and candidate bios, the confirmed items from March 3 remain the three county offices listed in the Original Report and the Democratic county-judge matchup between Anthony T. Slayton and Brian Stoner documented by Ballotpedia.
