Hot Spring County Quorum Court
The county judge and the justices of the peace of the Hot Spring County Quorum Court, named by district where a source says who sits for it.
Every Arkansas county is governed by a county judge, who runs the county and presides over the quorum court without a vote, and a quorum court of justices of the peace, one elected from each of its districts. No list from Hot Spring County says which justice sits for which district, so this page names each district's justice from the Association of Arkansas Counties' 2024 general election results, and only while the association's current list for the county, read on October 13, 2026, still includes the winner. Every seat on the court, and the county judge's office, is elected at the general election of November 3, 2026 for a term that starts on January 1, 2027.

districtry is an independent, unofficial civic reference. It never guesses at who holds a seat: every name above is published by the county, the Arkansas Judiciary or the Association of Arkansas Counties, and where none of them says who sits for a district this page says so rather than filling the gap.
