Austin McCollum (Republican) is on the November 3, 2026 ballot for Benton County Judge.

Open seat: incumbent Judge Barry Moehring (R), in office since 2017 (current term through 2026), announced in July 2025 he would not seek reelection, per the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (nwaonline.com). State Rep. Austin McCollum won the May Republican primary with 64.1% (12,266 votes) to Justice of the Peace Carrie Perrien Smith's 35.9% (6,882), per Arkansas Times' November 2025 candidate roundup and the county primary results. An independent, Taylor Sizemore of Bentonville, initially declared a candidacy but, according to Benton County Clerk Betsy Harrell, ultimately did not file the paperwork to appear on the November ballot, per the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
