Sheriff Election — Cochise County, Arizona
Cochise Sheriff · the arena · the southeast corner hires this desk in 2028 · in Bisbee · Phoenix remains the capital
The 2028 oval in Bisbee — not Sierra Vista City Hall, not 2026
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 Cochise County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. Arizona county sheriffs sit on the presidential table.
Quality Hill hires a Sheriff who still holds the Bisbee jail
Article XII, § 3: four years.
- Last regular general: Tuesday, 5 November 2024.
- Next regular general: Tuesday, 7 November 2028.
- Take office: 1 January 2029.
- Primary: confirm the Arizona SOS 2028 calendar when it posts. Do not invent a 2026 primary for this oval.
- Vacancy: chief deputy executes (§ 11-443); Board of Supervisors appoints until the next regular general (§ 16-230).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Three district Supervisors sit — not this oval. A Tucson rumor does not hire this badge. Sierra Vista is not the hall. Tombstone is a town. Phoenix is the capital.
Elections at 1415 Melody Lane — not Tombstone as this clerk
County Recorder lists at 1415 West Melody Lane, Building B, Bisbee. Elections list Building E on the same campus. That is county clerk work — not Bisbee City Hall as this clerk, not Sierra Vista City Hall as this clerk, not a Pima clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and early ballot on azsos.gov and my.arizona.vote.
Sample ballot in Cochise County, Arizona — not Pima, not New Mexico
Do not take names from a Tucson rumor, a Sierra Vista flyer, or a Tombstone postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arizona Secretary of State and the Cochise County Recorder
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Cochise County, Arizona, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — remainder patrol, a Judd Drive house, two substations
You are hiring the Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona — unincorporated patrol across Pearce, Portal, Bowie, and the Sierra Vista remainder; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 100 Quality Hill; and the jail at 203 North Judd, plus holding in Sierra Vista and Willcox. You are not hiring Sierra Vista Police. You are not hiring the Army. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 203 North Judd as this jailer, Bisbee as the seat, Sierra Vista as the large city not the hall, and 2026 as a different table.
Remedy when a writ misses Pearce or Portal
A bad service or a paper that missed Willcox country or Naco remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Three Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Tucson. Not Sierra Vista City Hall as this oval.
Relief when monsoon hits the Mule Pass
Monsoon on U.S. 80, a wreck on I-10 at Benson, a night road outside Portal — this county’s mutual aid first. Pima is a different count. Santa Cruz is a different count. Sierra Vista city hall is a different government. The Army is a different government.
Service — papers, a Quality Hill docket, a night shift toward Douglas
Papers. A Bisbee courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-10 frontage remains this badge. 203 North Judd remains this badge. ADC does not.
Due process does not wait for a Tucson rumor
A levy in unincorporated Cochise still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Pima County.
Rights from Willcox to the line
Equal protection on the border-rectangle map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Quality Hill and a family in Portal hire the same Sheriff.
