Sheriff Election — Androscoggin County, Maine
Androscoggin Sheriff · the arena · the mill cities hire this desk · 2026 is on
This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place — Auburn seat, Lewiston the larger city, mill river — is taught at Androscoggin County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
2026 is this oval — say the SOS table
Maine sheriffs sit for four years. Constitution Article IX, Section 10. They take office 1 January. The Secretary of State’s County Offices Appearing on the Ballot By Election Cycle, revised 27 February 2026, lists Androscoggin Sheriff: 2026.
Tuesday, 3 November 2026 is the regular general for this desk. The statewide primary for this cycle was 9 June 2026. Confirm any remaining calendar on maine.gov/sos.
Do not paste the 2028 four onto Auburn. Aroostook, Franklin, Kennebec, and Sagadahoc sheriffs are 2028 on the same SOS table. Those are different maps. County commissioners in this county are on overlapping clocks. Treasurer and deeds are appointed. Do not confuse a commissioner flyer with this Sheriff hire.
Confirm the date on the Secretary of State.
Sample ballot wins
Do not take names from a mill-shift comment, a hotel lobby, or a text thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Maine Secretary of State
- 2026 General Election Candidate’s List as the SOS actually posts it
- Current Sheriff of record — official Androscoggin County Sheriff / Judicial Branch list
- City and town clerks in Auburn, Lewiston, and the river towns for local filing questions
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring a four-year, full-time county Sheriff for the mill-river map: the jail at 40 Pleasant Street, court work at 2 Turner Street, civil process from Livermore Falls to Durham. You are not hiring Auburn Police. You are not hiring Lewiston Police. You are not hiring the District 3 prosecutor. You are not hiring a Portland harbor desk. Read the office page for the job.
Minimum qualifications live in 30-A M.R.S. § 371-B. They are a statute, not a flyer. Confirm the live text.
Remedy, relief, service, due process, rights
A wrong paper or a mistreated booking is still a complaint door and the courts. Relief when the Androscoggin comes up is still this county’s mutual aid. Service of process is still a person at a door in Wales. Due process does not pause for a mill brand. Equal protection from Durham to Livermore Falls. The constitutional clock on this desk is four years from 1 January. The rights this office must not run over are the same rights the rest of Maine owes.
