Sheriff Election — Cleburne County, Alabama
Cleburne Sheriff · the arena · an I-20 county hires this desk in 2026 · in Heflin
The 2026 oval in Heflin, not in Edwardsville, not in Arkansas
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 Cleburne County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Heflin hires a Sheriff who still holds Lambert Drive
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. Four district Commissioners and a Probate chair sit — not this oval. An Edwardsville rumor does not hire this badge. Cleburne County, Arkansas, is a different state.
Circuit Clerk Room 202 on Vickery, not Lambert Drive
Absentee Election Manager: 120 Vickery Street, Room 202, Heflin, AL 36264. That is the Circuit Clerk address on the SOS listing — not the jail at 140 Lambert Drive. Board of Registrars: 120 Vickery Street, Room 103. Not Edwardsville as the hall. Not Heber Springs, Arkansas. Not Cleburne, Texas. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.

What you are hiring — I-20 patrol and Lambert Drive jail, not Heflin PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Cleburne County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and the jail at 140 Lambert Drive. You are not hiring Heflin Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Lambert Drive as this jailer and Cheaha as not this house.
Remedy when a writ misses Ranburne
A bad service or a paper that missed Fruithurst — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Four Commissioners and a Probate chair are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Arkansas.
Relief when I-20 ices at the Georgia line
Ice on I-20, a wreck toward Fruithurst, a night road outside Ranburne — this county’s mutual aid first. Calhoun is a different count. Clay is a different count. Heflin city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Lambert night shift, forest roads
Papers. A Vickery Street courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-20 frontage remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for an Arkansas rumor
A levy in Ranburne still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Cleburne.
Rights from Fruithurst to Ranburne
Equal protection on the I-20 map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Heflin and a family in Edwardsville hire the same Sheriff.
