Sheriff Election — Coffee County, Alabama
Coffee Sheriff · the arena · a Wiregrass county hires this desk in 2026 · in Elba
The 2026 oval in Elba, not in Enterprise, not in Tennessee
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 Coffee County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Elba hires a Sheriff whose jail sits in New Brockton
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. Seven district Commissioners sit — not this oval. An Enterprise rumor does not hire this badge. Enterprise is a city. Coffee County, Tennessee, is a different state.
Circuit Clerk on Court Avenue and Edwards Street — not the jail
Absentee Election Manager: 1065 E. McKinnon Street, New Brockton, AL 36351. That is the SOS listing — not the jail at 4 County Complex, not Enterprise City Hall, not Elba Town Square as a substitute for the absentee desk. Two court divisions still sit: Elba, 230 Court Avenue, and Enterprise, 104 North Edwards / 99 South Edwards. Neither is the jail. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.

Do not take names from an Enterprise rumor or a Tennessee postcard.

- Voter lookup

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Wiregrass patrol and a New Brockton jail, not Enterprise PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Coffee County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at two divisions, and the jail at 4 County Complex, New Brockton. You are not hiring Enterprise Police. You are not hiring Elba Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for New Brockton as this jailer, Elba as the seat, and Enterprise as not the hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Kinston
A bad service or a paper that missed Jack — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Seven Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Tennessee.
Relief when the Pea River comes up in Elba
High water in Elba, a wreck on U.S. 84, a night road outside New Brockton — this county’s mutual aid first. Dale is a different count. Geneva is a different count. Enterprise city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, two courthouses, a Complex night shift
Papers. An Elba courtroom. An Enterprise courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 84 frontage remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Tennessee rumor
A levy in Kinston still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Coffee.
Rights from Kinston to the Dale line
Equal protection on the Wiregrass map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Elba and a family in Enterprise hire the same Sheriff.
