Sheriff Election — Blount County, Alabama
Blount Sheriff · the arena · a Locust Fork county hires this desk in 2026 · in Oneonta
The 2026 oval in the north-central hills
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 Blount County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Oneonta hires a Sheriff who still holds Industrial Park
Article V, § 138: four years. The Secretary of State 2026 page lists various county offices on the gubernatorial ballot.
- 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 — Monday, 18 January 2027.
- Vacancy: Governor appointment (§ 36-9-17). Coroner acts until a successor is chosen (§ 11-5-5).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. A chairman plus four district Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Birmingham rumor does not hire this badge. Blountsville is a town. Blount County, Tennessee, is a different state.
Circuit Clerk on Second Avenue East, not Industrial Park
Absentee Election Manager / Circuit Clerk: 220 2nd Avenue, Suite 208, Oneonta, AL 35121. Board of Registrars: Room B-5 in the same courthouse. Not 225 Industrial Park. Not Blountsville as the hall. Not Maryville, Tennessee. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Oneonta, not Maryville, Tennessee
Do not take names from a Birmingham rumor or a Tennessee postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Blount County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — hill-road patrol and jail, not Oneonta PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Blount County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and the jail at 225 Industrial Park Road. You are not hiring Oneonta Police. You are not hiring a Tennessee Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Industrial Park as this jailer.
Remedy when a writ misses Blountsville
A bad service or a paper that missed Locust Fork — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Tennessee.
Relief when Locust Fork comes up
A rise on the Locust Fork, a wreck on U.S. 231, a hill-road fog — this county’s mutual aid first. Jefferson is a different count. Cullman is a different count. Oneonta’s city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a hill-jail night shift, U.S. 231
Papers. A Second Avenue East courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Locust Fork road remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Tennessee rumor
A levy in Hayden still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Blount.
Rights from Hayden to Snead
Equal protection on the Locust Fork map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Oneonta and a family in Blountsville hire the same Sheriff.
