Under a new Arkansas law that went into
effect in 2011 a run-off election can be avoided if the leading candidate gets
at least 40% of the votes and there is a 20% gap between that candidate
and whoever comes in second. In the November 4 election Hobbs received 161
votes at 35.29% and Mitchell garnered 127 votes at 27.79%. The other two
candidates were Corliss "Jerry" Ball, who received 110 votes at
24.07%, and Farren Wadley, receiving 59 votes at 12.91%.
