Most of the primary races were decided Tuesday night, but there is one contest in Northwest Arkansas going to a runoff.
The fight for Circuit Judge, District 4, Division 4, which covers Washington and Madison Counties.
Bob Lambert and Cristi Beaumont will face off in November to see who will be the next drug court judge.
And neither candidate plans on slowing down until then.
"Just gotta keep working hard and just try to meet those 20 or 30 voters I haven't meet yet, and try to keep working hard," Beaumont said.
"We'll sit down give ourselves a few weeks to contemplate the election and then get started working hard for the next election on November the sixth," said Lambert.
The third candidate, Amy Estes Turner, pulled 13-percent of the vote.
Beaumont and Lambert ran a close race, separated by just 1,357 votes.
