Sheriff Election — Cheshire County, New Hampshire
Cheshire Sheriff · the arena · Monadnock hires this desk · 2026 is the regular two-year
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 is taught at Cheshire County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Two years under the mountain
RSA 653:1: two years. Cheshire is on the default. SOS table: 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030. Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Primary Tuesday, 8 September 2026. Takes office RSA 653:10. Do not teach “commonly four years.” The presidential primary is a different year. The Governor is 2026 — a different oval.
Sample ballot wins
Do not take names from a college-town thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Secretary of State
- City and town clerks — Keene, Jaffrey, Winchester, Walpole, Hinsdale, Rindge, and the rest
- Current Sheriff of record — official Cheshire County Sheriff listing / SOS county roster
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
One two-year Sheriff for this county: civil process, court security and transport, warrants, mutual aid. Not the jail superintendent. Not Keene Police. Not Vermont. Not Massachusetts. Read the office page before you read a mailer. Vacancy mid-term is the county convention. Age seventy vacates the chair.
Ridge, mill, papers, rights
A wrong paper or a mistreated transport: official complaint door and the courts. Relief in ice on 12 is this county’s mutual aid first. Service of process is a person at a door in Gilsum. Due process does not pause at the Massachusetts line. Equal protection from Rindge to Alstead.
