Sheriff Election — Autauga County, Alabama
Autauga Sheriff · the arena · the I-65 corridor west of the capital hires this desk in 2026
The 2026 oval west of the capital
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Autauga County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Prattville hires a county Sheriff who still holds Metro Jail
Article V, § 138: four years. The Secretary of State 2026 page lists various county offices on the gubernatorial ballot — same even-year Tuesday as Governor, Attorney General, State Senate, and House.
- Closed primary: Tuesday, 19 May 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff: Tuesday, 16 June 2026 (already sat where needed).
- General: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- Take office: Ala. Code § 36-3-4 — first Monday after the second Tuesday of January — Monday, 18 January 2027.
- Vacancy: Governor appointment for the remainder (§ 36-9-17). Coroner acts until a successor is chosen (§ 11-5-5).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Commissioners sit by district — not this oval. Class II U.S. Senate is 2026 — a different desk. A capital rumor does not hire this badge. Montgomery County is a different county.
Probate and the Circuit Clerk run the Autauga count
Judge of Probate: 176 West Fifth Street, Prattville. Circuit Clerk / absentee: 134 North Court Street. Board of Registrars: 218 North Court Street. Not 162 West Fourth. Not Prattville City Hall. Not Montgomery. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Prattville, not Montgomery City Hall
Do not take names from a mill rumor or a capital postcard.

- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Autauga County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Fourth Street patrol and jail, not Prattville PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Autauga County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and Metro Jail. You are not hiring Prattville Police. You are not hiring ALEA as this oval. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Fourth Street as this jailer and Prattville PD as city.
Remedy when a writ misses Autaugaville
A bad service or a paper that missed Marbury — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Montgomery County.
Relief when I-65 ices at Pine Level
An ice event on I-65, a wreck on U.S. 31, a rise on the Alabama River toward Lowndes — this county’s mutual aid first. Elmore’s Wetumpka is a different count. Dallas is a different count. Chilton is a different count.
Service — papers, a jail night shift, unincorporated roads
Papers. A North Court Street courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Pine Level road remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a capital rumor
A levy in Autaugaville still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the gold dome twenty minutes down I-65.
Rights from Marbury to Autaugaville
Equal protection on the corridor map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Billingsley and a family in Autaugaville hire the same Sheriff.
