In Arkansas, the lieutenant governor is
elected separately from the governor and thus can be from a different
political party.
Each office's term is four years long. Office holders are
term-limited to two full terms plus any partial terms prior to the first
full term.
Some of Arkansas'
counties have two county seats, as opposed to the usual one seat. The
arrangement dates back to when travel was extremely difficult in the states. The
seats are usually on opposite sides of the county. Though travel is no longer
the difficulty it once was, there are few efforts to eliminate the two seat
arrangement where it exists, since the county seat is a source of pride (and
jobs) to the city involved.
