Sheriff Election — Butler County, Alabama
Butler Sheriff · the arena · a south-Alabama I-65 county hires this desk in 2026 · in Greenville
The 2026 oval south of Montgomery on I-65
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 Butler County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Greenville, Alabama, hires a Sheriff who still holds Walnut Street
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. Five Commissioners (rotating chair) sit — not this oval. A Montgomery rumor does not hire this badge. Georgiana is a town. Butler County, Ohio, is a different state.
Circuit Clerk on Court Square, not Walnut Street
Absentee Election Manager / Circuit Clerk: 700 Court Square, Greenville, AL 36037 (mailing P.O. Box 236). Board of Registrars: 611 East Commerce Street. Not 800 Walnut Street. Not Fort Dale. Not Hamilton, Ohio. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Greenville, Alabama — not Hamilton, Ohio
Do not take names from a Montgomery rumor or an Ohio postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Butler County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Court Square patrol and Walnut jail, not Greenville PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Butler County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and the jail at 800 Walnut Street. You are not hiring Greenville Police. You are not hiring an Ohio Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Walnut Street as this jailer.
Remedy when a writ misses Georgiana
A bad service or a paper that missed McKenzie — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Ohio.
Relief when I-65 ices south of Montgomery
Ice on I-65, a south-Alabama storm, a night road toward Forest Home — this county’s mutual aid first. Montgomery is a different count. Lowndes is a different count. Greenville city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Walnut night shift, south-Alabama roads
Papers. A Court Square courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-65 frontage remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for an Ohio rumor
A levy in Georgiana still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Butler.
Rights from McKenzie to Forest Home
Equal protection on the south-Alabama map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Greenville and a family in Georgiana hire the same Sheriff.
